The intensive 4-modules in this 7-day course are tailored for professionals who want to master advanced technical skills while developing the necessary collaboration abilities to ensure that a high technical standard spreads throughout the organization.
The curriculum emphasizes achieving Technical Excellence, providing in-depth insights into fundamental technical principles and practices. Participants will also develop core skills such as mentoring, facilitation, and collaborative problem-solving, equipping them to become influential technical leaders.
Through this program, you’ll learn how to make impactful technical decisions that promote innovation and long-term stability while fostering effective teamwork and stakeholder engagement.
You are passionate about creating great software products, but sometimes feel that you lack the vocabulary to effectively communicate with the business.
You know what good software should be, but poor compromises and a lack of alignment within the organization lead to technical debt and inefficient processes.
You’re often stuck in a role where you’re constantly firefighting, with little opportunity to develop the team or think long-term.
Your most skilled technicians risk being overlooked in strategic discussions because they lack the right communication and facilitation tools.
Technical teams produce short-term solutions and increasing costly technical debt due to the absence of strong technical direction and a shared language for architecture and quality.
Experts become bottlenecks instead of empowering the team: The strongest technicians are required for all key decisions, limiting the overall capacity of the team.
You have worked in digital product development for several years. You are passionate about your field and always seeking new knowledge that can help you and your organization reach the next level. Your role is typically that of a software developer, architect, or technical lead (tech stack agnostic).
