iSAQB® AGILA - Agile Software Architecture Certification

A training in agility can be beneficial for various individuals and businesses, as it offers many advantages. Some of the benefits are:

• Improved collaboration: Agility fosters collaboration and communication between different teams and departments, which can lead to better collaboration and faster project implementation.
• Faster time-to-market: Agility enables businesses to respond faster to changing market requirements and bring new products and services to market faster.
• Higher quality: Agility can lead to higher quality of products and services, as teams can gather feedback more frequently and respond quickly.
• Greater flexibility: Agile teams are more flexible and can quickly respond to changes, providing businesses with greater adaptability.
• Increased productivity: Agile teams can work more efficiently and often have higher productivity than non-agile teams.

iSAQB AGILA is the "International Software Architecture Qualification Board" which aims to improve the quality of software architecture training. The iSAQB Certified Professional for Software Architecture - Foundation Level (CPSA-F) certificate includes the topic of "Agile Software Architecture". iSAQB defines agility as the ability of a system to quickly respond to changes in the environment and requirements while providing stable services. Agile software architecture refers to the way in which software architecture practices are applied in agile software development teams. The focus is on making the architecture flexible and adaptable to meet changing customer requirements and needs.

The iSAQB makes a formal and organizational separation between training and examination providers. That's why there are these two roles. The training providers offer courses, training courses, and workshops to prepare the participants, for example, for the CPSA-A thesis or the CPSA-F exam.

The exam providers take the CPSA-F and CPSA-A exams - but are not allowed to offer any training courses in this area.

The credit points can be re-evaluated by the iSAQB every 12 months. This should therefore be considered if further training measures are planned over several years.

It can affect the number of points on the one hand and the distribution on the other. If necessary, facts can be omitted in one of the three areas, which means that this area has to be covered by another seminar. So far, however, there have only been a few changes.

To prepare for Agile certifications such as "Certified Scrum Master" or "PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)", there are several options:

• Books and learning materials: There are a variety of books and learning materials that focus on Agile methods and practices and can help you prepare for the certification exam. Many of these resources are available online or can be purchased at bookstores.
• Online courses: There are a variety of online courses and tutorials that focus on Agile methods and practices and can help you prepare for the certification exam. Some of these courses may be paid while others are free.
• Practical experience: One of the best ways to prepare for an Agile certification exam is to gain practical experience in applying Agile methods and practices. This can be done through participating in Agile projects or collaborating with Agile teams.
• Exam preparation courses: There are specialized courses that focus on preparing for Agile certification exams and can help you prepare specifically for the exam. These courses are typically offered both online and in-person.

The target audience for a training in agility typically includes:

• Software developers: Software developers can benefit from training in agility as they can learn how to develop software faster and more efficiently, and how to adapt to changing requirements and needs.
• Project managers: Project managers can benefit from training in agility as they can learn how to integrate agile methods into their project management practices and how to effectively and efficiently manage their teams.
• Product managers: Product managers can benefit from training in agility as they can learn how to bring products to market quickly and effectively and how to quickly respond to feedback and changing requirements.
• Leaders: Leaders can benefit from training in agility as they can learn how to integrate agile methods into their strategic planning and how to motivate and lead their teams to work faster and more efficiently.
• Companies: Companies as a whole can benefit from training in agility as they can learn how to integrate agile work into their culture and processes and how to quickly and efficiently respond to changing market requirements and needs.

The AGILA iSAQB® seminar is aimed at software architects, software designers, software developers, project managers, managers and members of agile teams.
