Dragon1 Architecture Portfolio

Develop an architecture portfolio by yourself

You may develop a Dragon1 architecture portfolio by yourself. If you are a regular visitor to the Dragon1 Open Knowledge Events and you study and apply the available material of Dragon1 in practice, it could be the preferred route for an experienced architect. On Dragon1 Resources, you will find examples and checklists for products which are found in Dragon1 architecture portfolios.

Develop an architecture portfolio under supervision

If you would prefer to be supervised in developing your architecture portfolio, the Dragon1 EA Bridge Course would be most suitable. In this instance, you follow a learning route of eighteen weeks, with a classroom training session every 2 weeks, when you will be working on a product from the portfolio. During your daily work activities, you would test and develop your architecture portfolio.
