Full Skills Package For The IT architect (IASA)

De "International Association of Software Architects" (IASA) is bezig met het inventariseren van de kwaliteiten en kennis die een IT Architect zou moeten hebben.

Met deze lijst kun je vrij snel afvinken op welke onderdelen je sterk bent en aan welke onderdelen je eventueel nog zou kunnen werken: cursussen moet volgen en ervaring moet opdoen. Ook kan het uistekend dienen voor het vormgeven van je eigen (toekomstige) functie want veel bedrijven hebben de functie nog niet opgenomen in hun functiehuis is mijn ervaring.
