Delivery Mind

We developed the program based on the painful experience of System Architects, Development TeamLeads, and Delivery Managers when working with project managers, business analysts, and product managers. We broke down all the situations where loss of money, time, and effort could have been prevented by asking the right questions to the client or directing the team.

The main reason for these problems is the lack of technical knowledge, understanding of the principles of IT project architecture, and identification of non-functional requirements at the start of the project.

To form the necessary basis for linking business requirements to technical solutions, you’ll need to transfer to management from development (and it is desirable to be a back-end specialist from the very beginning). Or you’ll have to communicate closely with the system architect, ask questions, and make your own mistakes to grow. 

The course will help you to learn not on your own mistakes but on the set of other people’s cases and to absorb the main practices quickly and deeply enough to understand what to pay attention to in order to make the right decision.

Classes are held in the format of an hour and a half to two hours of online lectures so that you can try out the tools, learn about best practices, and have an ability to ask all the questions you are interested in.

All the theory is immediately supported by case studies from the speakers’ experience. We analyze the situations where managers most often make mistakes that can lead to projects losing a lot of money and time. We study all the main issues in the practical exercises on the webinar to be sure that all students finish the course with the right skills.

The course is well suited for IT managers with at least two years of experience who have already reached the Middle level and want to develop further. If you already can speak with the developers in their language, it is worth continuing to delve into the technical side of IT project development and dive into the issues of building IT architecture to increase your value in the market.

If you are still not confident in your knowledge of the development process, it is worth paying attention to our TechMind basic course. It will help you to master the necessary terminology. Not sure how to determine your level? Take our quiz to test your knowledge.

If it were that simple, IT projects would always be developed without problems and on time.

More commonly, it is only after the fact that you realize knowledge of IT architecture principles would come in handy. Often this means that for weeks you have been developing the wrong thing and the wrong way, and now everything has to be redone. 

Managers are the ones who communicate the most with stakeholders and understand business needs. More often than not, if the developers chose the wrong solution or the client explained the problem incorrectly, a technically savvy manager will have time to correct the situation. But if you don’t know what to pay attention to, you’ll miss the right information.

You certainly can. Learning any programming language will be a very useful skill. The only disadvantage: to learn programming at a level sufficient to understand the issues of architecture you need to spend months, maybe even a year.

Even after that, you will still need to gain knowledge in building business architecture, project security, building CI/CD processes, identifying non-functional requirements, and ensuring the testing process.

Being able to program is important and definitely useful, but an IT manager often has to communicate at the level of a team leader and a system architect, which means you need to grow in relevant areas of knowledge to be able to understand the processes.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. The lectures are interconnected, and the material of each lecture may refer to the knowledge gained from the previous one. Besides, the course includes homework, practice, and work with cases. Therefore, to get the most out of it, you’ll have to go through the lectures in the given order. We have added to the course only the most important material. All of it will come in handy if you work with IT projects.

Yes, we will issue you a certificate of completion. It will be available in an online format for you to attach to LinkedIn.

Also, if you complete all homework assignments and pass the exam, you may receive a certificate with honor and a personal recommendation from the speakers.

Yes, you can, by prior arrangement with the course organizers or through bank installments. The conditions for splitting payments are discussed individually for each case.
