Is this the right course for you?

Advanced Software Architecture aims to provide the tools for architects to quickly embrace new thinking to deliver modern solutions, which will lead to simpler, faster deliveries, with better quality. More importantly, the course will provide a new vision of what architecture is and how it can contribute to the challenges faced by organizations today.

There are no formal prerequisites, but we recommend a few years of experience in systems architecture to get the most out of the course.

Target group

  • Solution architects
  • Enterprise architects
  • System developers
  • CTOs

About the course

Advanced Software Architecture will lift you as a software and solution architect to the next level in building and designing advanced distributed systems. The course teaches architecture through a new, groundbreaking approach that combines software engineering and complexity theory, providing a solid theoretical background for advanced decision-making. You get a new perspective on architecture, with concrete tools and techniques that will put you as an architect at the forefront.

Modern architects are experiencing massive increases in complexity. Together with constantly evolving platforms, products, and the pressures brought about by digitalization, it is getting harder and harder to deliver consistently. The course helps answer these challenges with a series of proven tools and techniques that have been honed over the last 12 years, with real world exercises and an aim to lift the Architect’s contribution to a new level.

The course is held in collaboration with our partner Black Tulip Technology.

The course gives you:

  • Tools and techniques to help navigate complexity in modern distributed systems
  • A quick start in effective distributed software architectures
  • A new way to think about architecture and the architect’s role in the age of digitalization

    Lars Sidén, Bliwa, 2025

  • “The analysis of residuals is an extremely powerful tool to find whatever can hit your IT architecture and what would be left of it once that happened.”

    Sigrid Koch, Xaido AB, 2024

  • “Open your mind about architecture and not get stuck in models that will not show the whole system and why the break when unexpected changes arrives over time”

    Vladan Vuckovic, Västra Götalandsregionen, 2025
