This course teaches participants about the C4 Model and how it is used to describe and communicate software archtiecture. Participants will create and use various C4 diagrams that can be used to communicate architecural decisions and concepts to team members and stakeholders. Through interactive sessions participants will learn to create context, container, component, and dynamic diagrams, effectively document architectural decisions, and integrate the C4 model into development workflows. Examples of how C4 models are incorporated into the development process will be examined . The course will also offer participants knowledge involving techniques for collaborative archtectural decision-making.
