Architecting with AI: Become an AI-powered Architect
Learn to use Gen AI as the Architect’s Co-pilot for enhanced architecting and increased velocity.


Why this course?
-
As AI is reshaping software engineering across every phase of the development lifecycle, the ability to produce high quality architectures is increasingly becoming a differentiating skill.
-
Whether you’re an engineer, architect or technical manager, this course enables you to apply AI immediately in your work.
- As well as applicable knowledge, the workshop offers an opportunity for reflection, a chance to rethink what architecting can be today, and in the future
-
You leave with a clearer understanding of how GenAI impacts your work, and a set of resources you can use on your next assignment.
Learning Outcomes
In this hands-on course you will learn how to leverage Gen AI as the Solution and Enterprise Co-Architect’s for enhanced architecting and increased design velocity. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
-
Explain the impact of GenAI on Solution and Enterprise Architecting Practices
-
Understand how AI can enhance your (and your team's) architectural decision-making
-
Identify high potential use cases (and associated benefits) for the use of AI in architecting (systems, domains, and enterprises)
-
Use AI to generate, iterate, and validate evolving architectures
-
Use AI prompts in leading tools for better & faster architectural decision-making
-
Understand and mitigate risks of using AI in architecting
After this course, you'll be able to create your first AI-powered Software Architecture and AI-powered Architecture Governance Officer
