AGENTA

Architecture in the context of agentic development - iSAQB Module AGENTA (3 days)

All Seminars

Speed Meets Architectural Competence

Generative AI and coding agents accelerate software development considerably: where teams used to need days for a first solution approach, a working prototype now stands in hours.

Without an architectural framework, however, that’s mostly fast failure. Technical debt and governance gaps arise unchecked, and can later only be fixed with great effort. In this seminar, you’ll learn to make architecture decisions with AI support and prepare architecture knowledge so that it actually works in agentic contexts.

Agenda

Fundamentals: AI, LLMs and Agents
How LLMs work, prompt and context engineering, the agentic loop

Extracting architecture knowledge from existing systems
Using AI support to gain architecture information from code, interfaces and dependencies

Preparing architecture knowledge for agents
Architecture rules, context files and retrieval mechanisms such as knowledge graphs, LLM wikis, skills, RAG and MCP

Keeping agents within architectural boundaries
Preventive and detective controls: architecture tests, linting, review gates

Making architecture decisions with AI
Translating quality goals into drivers, generating hypotheses and design variants, and deciding with confidence

Governance, legal and security aspects of AI use
Copyright, data protection, EU AI Act, traceability, sandboxing

The architecture discipline in transition
Preserving judgment, recognizing biases, rethinking roles and collaboration

Your Benefit

You learn to shape architecture work effectively in an agent-driven development environment. You make architecture decisions with AI support, data-driven, and as testable hypotheses. You can prepare architecture knowledge so agents can use it at the right moment. You can design and implement preventive and detective controls to deliberately enforce architecture decisions. You extract architecture information from existing code and turn it into living documentation. You classify governance, legal questions, and security risks of AI use, without slowing down your development speed. Even with high automation, you retain technical and substantive responsibility for the overall system as an architect.

Target Audience

This training is aimed at software developers and software architects whose company uses, or plans to use, generative AI and agents in development. You should bring practical experience in software development or architecture, as well as a basic understanding of architecture concepts, modern development processes, and build pipelines. Helpful, but not required: first practical experience with a coding agent and basic knowledge of architecture decisions, ADRs, or CI/CD.
