iSAQB® FLEX - Flexible Architecture Models Certification

• Modularity: By dividing software into independent modules, changes can be made to one module without affecting others.
• Layered Architecture: A layered architecture can help reduce dependencies within software and increase the flexibility of the architecture.
• Component-Based Design: Using reusable components can help accelerate software development and improve maintainability.

iSAQB FLEX (Flexible Architecture Modeling) is a certification program offered by the International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB) that focuses on flexible architecture modeling and design. FLEX aims to provide software architects and developers with a methodology to develop flexible and scalable software architectures that meet the requirements of a constantly changing business environment.

In addition to TOGAF training in companies, the CPSA program is internationally significant. Compared to the TOGAF training, the CPSA program emphasizes the practical implementation of IT systems.

• Successful training and certification as CPSA‑F (Certified Professional for Software Architecture – Foundation Level).
• At least three years of full-time professional experience within the IT industry, working on designing and developing at least two different IT systems. Exceptions are permitted upon request (e.g., collaboration within open-source projects).

• Training and further education as part of iSAQB Advanced Level training courses amounting to at least 70 credit points. The three competence areas must be covered with at least ten credit points each.

• Upon request, existing certifications can be credited toward the credit points.

• Successful completion of the CPSA-A certification task, including an interview with two independent examiners appointed by the iSAQB.

• Agility: A flexible architecture can enable companies to quickly respond to changes in the business environment and maintain their competitiveness.
• Scalability: A flexible architecture can enable companies to rapidly and efficiently scale their software solutions to meet the growing demands of the business.
• Cost and risk reduction: By using FLEX, companies can reduce the costs and risks associated with developing software solutions, as the architecture is designed to be flexible and scalable.

iSAQB FLEX (Flexible Architecture Modeling) can help companies achieve their goals by providing IT professionals involved in software solution development with the necessary skills and methods to design and develop flexible and scalable architectures.

A flexible architecture is crucial in a constantly changing business environment to ensure that a software solution can meet changing requirements. FLEX teaches architects and developers how to design an architecture that can quickly and efficiently implement changes and adaptations without incurring high costs or risks.

FLEX is based on a set of principles, methods, and techniques that enable participants to develop an architecture that can adapt to changing requirements. This includes the use of modeling techniques to describe the structure and behavior of systems, the use of architectural patterns to organize the architecture, and the use of methods for evaluating architectures.

iSAQB FLEX can be applied in many different areas where flexible architectures are required to meet the constantly changing requirements of the business environment. Some of the areas where FLEX can be most useful are:

• E-commerce: E-commerce companies need to be able to quickly respond to changes in the business environment to maintain their competitiveness. A flexible architecture can help make rapid changes to a software solution and respond to customer needs.
• Financial services: The financial industry is subject to strict regulation and often needs to quickly respond to changes in legislation. A flexible architecture can help enable rapid adaptation to changes in regulations.
• Logistics: Companies in the logistics industry need to be able to quickly respond to changes in demand to satisfy their customers. A flexible architecture can help make rapid changes to a software solution to meet customer requirements.

Overall, the target audience for iSAQB FLEX is anyone interested in improving their skills and knowledge in the field of flexible architecture modeling and design and advancing their career as an IT professional.

Typically, iSAQB FLEX is aimed at individuals who already have experience in software development and have a basic understanding of architecture principles and concepts. This can include software developers, architects, project managers, or other IT professionals involved in the development of software solutions.

The target audience for iSAQB FLEX is software architects, developers, and other IT professionals involved in the development of flexible, scalable, and robust software architectures. The program is aimed at individuals who want to be able to design and implement software architectures that meet the requirements of the business environment and have high quality, security, and maintainability.

This iSAQB® FLEX training is aimed at software architects and developers who design and develop systems. These have already gained practical experience with IT projects. No knowledge of a particular technology or programming language is required. Knowledge of web technologies is advantageous, but this is not mandatory.

An already completed iSAQB Foundation Level certification (CPSA-F) and at least three years of full-time professional experience in the IT industry would be advantageous.

• FLEX is part of the CPSA Certified Professional for Software Architecture Advanced Level® certification.” 
• Licensed & accredited training courses on FLEX contribute to the approval of the following credit points: Methodical competence: ten points; Technical competence: 20 points 
• The training runs over three days with 8 hours each.
