We also address the communication challenges business stakeholders may encounter as they work more closely with their technical-minded peers.

By the end of this training, participants will know how to:

• Write concise user stories that capture the usage patterns of real software users.
• Translate their user stories into the behavioral language of BDD (Given, When, Then).
• Derive test cases from these stories, for engineers to implement and test.
• Understand the relationship between product requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases.
• Demystify the technical jargon that hinders communication and understanding.

The RISC-V ecosystem has evolved from a niche open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) into a mainstream architectural choice with substantial market momentum spanning edge computing, IoT, automotive sectors, AI acceleration, and server-class processors. Industry analyses highlight a significant talent gap: there are fewer than 5,000 RISC-V chip designers globally, compared to an estimated 15,000+ open positions within the semiconductor industry. Current hiring trends indicate that employers are prioritising candidates who possess proficiency in RISC-V architecture alongside skills in SoC design, RTL verification (UVM/SystemVerilog), AI accelerator development, Rust systems programming, confidential computing, and open-source toolchain expertise. The most rapidly growing competency areas include automotive-grade RISC-V (ISO 26262 compliance), 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 development efforts, intensifying the demand for engineers capable of bridging architecture specification, silicon implementation, firmware, and software stack development within a single skill set.

As distributed systems become increasingly complex, the challenge has shifted from the intricacies of a single application to the complexity inherent in the architecture of interconnected systems. This course explores the dynamic relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture. These two domains are closely linked, yet this connection is often not fully articulated. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two distinct systems that communicate via web services necessitates significant changes to both the individual systems and the architectural interactions between them.

Throughout this course, we will examine the trade-offs involved, along with prevalent patterns and solutions for managing complex systems and the communication channels within and between them.
