Real Architects, Real Mistakes - 380+ patterns to learn from
"Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.”
― John Dewey (Philosopher and Psychologist)
Trial and error. Without a doubt the best mode of learning. But as an architect, given the broad scope and impact of our work, there is little to no room for mistakes.
But what if YOU could learn from the mistakes of others?
So we recorded, transcribed, and analyzed thousands of hours of coaching sessions to identify the mistake patterns that repeat across architects - from first-timers to experienced architects - real architects, real mistakes.
And I'm sharing all of them with you - 380+ mistakes across 7 domains (from System Architecture to Delivery) and skills like business acumen, systems thinking and assumptions.
So you can learn to avoid them in your day-to-day work or for your preparation for the CTA Review Board.
And the best part?
We'll do live Q&A sessions, where we will answer all your questions related to the mistakes.
