Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a robust software development methodology that emphasizes modeling intricate software behaviors by synchronizing technical execution with core business concepts. This course examines how DDD enables teams to manage complexity and mitigate risks through strategic and tactical patterns. Participants will acquire the skills to establish a "Ubiquitous Language," delineate clear boundaries via Bounded Contexts, and utilize fundamental building blocks such as Entities, Value Objects, and Aggregates. The ultimate objective is to construct flexible, maintainable software architectures that stay aligned with the evolving business domain.

Numerous well-established patterns are readily accessible. Often, the key lies in adapting their names and implementing them within a specific technology. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be devoted to design and testing. Training Goals This course aims to achieve two primary objectives: first, to enable the reuse of widely recognized patterns, and second, to facilitate the creation and reuse of patterns tailored to your organization. It assists you in estimating how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process, and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers. Course Style The course emphasizes use cases and their relationship with specific patterns. Most examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of patterns and demonstrates how to catalogue and describe patterns for reuse across your organization.

In this instructor-led, live workshop training in Rio de Janeiro (online or onsite), participants will learn how to apply the five stages of Design Thinking to better understand the problems experienced by end-users of a product or service, then develop the best approach for resolving them.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use creative strategies to match customers' needs with technologically feasible solutions.
• Formulate a strategy to increase customer value and enhance product and service offerings.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today’s increasingly complex world, we often encounter challenges that require specialized approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to navigate these complex issues effectively. Mastering design thinking empowers you to address complex problems with greater efficiency, enhance your communication and persuasion skills, drive better business outcomes, and improve both organizational and personal behavior and performance.

• How DT works: Learn from people and the problem, identify patterns, design a model (understanding model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer as needed.
• The relationship between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation.
• Application of DT: design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approach, agile estimation technique, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technology savvy, forward thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To understand the fundamentals and nuances of DT
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models in DT
• To experiment, experience and practice DT

Delivery:

This is a 1-day (4-hour) training course consisting of:

• lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussion, and mock-conflict resolution exercises),
• individual activities (15% - writing, designing and peer discussion)
• and others (15% - videos, reading).

Note: Due to the nature of this course, there is a minimum group size of 3 participants.

The RISC-V ecosystem has evolved from a niche open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) into a mainstream technology with substantial market momentum across edge computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive systems, AI acceleration, and server-class processors. Industry reports highlight a significant talent gap: there are fewer than 5,000 RISC-V chip designers globally, compared to an estimated 15,000 or more open positions within the semiconductor industry. Key hiring trends indicate that employers prioritize proficiency in RISC-V architecture combined with skills in System-on-Chip (SoC) design, RTL verification using UVM/SystemVerilog, AI accelerator development, systems programming in Rust, confidential computing, and expertise with open-source toolchains. The fastest-growing competency areas include automotive-grade RISC-V (compliant with ISO 26262), server-class processors featuring AIA interrupt controllers and multi-core coherence, and edge AI inference NPUs. Companies such as SiFive, Qualcomm, and Western Digital have accelerated their RISC-V initiatives, driving demand for engineers capable of bridging architecture specifications, silicon implementation, firmware development, and software stack creation within a single skill set.

As highly complex distributed systems emerge, the challenge shifts from the intricacy of a single system to the architectural complexity of the entire system ecosystem. This course explores the interplay between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture—two domains that are closely linked yet often lack a clear descriptive framework. For instance, decomposing a monolithic application into separate systems that communicate via web services necessitates significant adjustments to both the new components and the architecture facilitating their interaction.

Throughout this course, participants will examine the trade-offs involved, alongside current best practices and patterns for managing complex systems and their internal and external communications.

Target Audience:

Developers, programmers, business analysts, project managers, software architects, quality assurance testers, documentation specialists, and anyone involved in the software development lifecycle.

Course Objectives:

Equip you with the skills to work effectively with a wide variety of UML elements.
Teach you how to construct complex UML models.
Prepare you to qualify as a senior member of a UML Development Team.
