Architecture Governance
Intermediate to Advanced (SA, EA, TS)5-6 hoursGovernance model canvas + architecture principles register + escalation path template

How to design, implement, and measure architecture governance — the mechanisms that ensure decisions are made consistently, applied correctly, and aligned with strategy.

...to guided (templates and checklists) to automated checks (CI/CD fitness functions) to self-service (platforms enforce standards). The goal is to move right. Govern with automation and defaults — not meetings...

Common Architecture Patterns
Intermediate (SA, EA)5-7 hoursPattern selection guide + pattern comparison matrix + anti-pattern catalogue

Proven, reusable solutions to recurring structural problems — each with known trade-offs that make it suited to some contexts and unsuitable for others.

...undifferentiated heavy lifting — it doesn't create business value but consumes engineering time. Serverless and platform-based approaches trade control for convenience. The provider manages the infrastructure; you...

AI Use Case Discovery & Prioritization
Beginner to Intermediate4-5 hoursAI use case portfolio + prioritisation matrix + pilot shortlist

The hardest AI question is often not how to build, but what to build first. Learn how to find real use cases, assess fit, sequence experiments, and avoid expensive distractions.

...readiness That balance matters because some use cases create immediate value, while others create the platform and habits that make larger gains possible later. One practical way to think about portfolio...

Delivery, Implementation & Architecture Runway
Intermediate (SA, EA, TS)4-5 hoursArchitecture runway template + delivery dependency map + agile architecture checklist

How architecture supports delivery instead of blocking it — covering architecture runway, phased implementation, dependency management, keeping teams unblocked, and recovering when architecture goes wrong during delivery.

...What changes when the mental model clicks I've run this session with teams where 6 teams working on a platform had velocity drop 60% over 3 months — every sprint had 5+ architectural blockers, no dependency...

Requirements, Constraints, Trade-offs & Compromise
All levels — SA, EA, TS5-6 hoursTrade-off framework + constraint register template + requirements classification guide

The art of making the best possible architectural decision given what is required, what is constrained, and what must be sacrificed.

...Regulations — what the law requires. Team skills — what the team can build and maintain. Technology — what platforms or vendors are mandated. Constraint categories: Organisational — "We must use Azure." Negotiable,...
