Architect Gym at a Glance
“How do we get great designers? Great designers design, of course.”
—Fred Brooks
“So how are we supposed to get great architects, if they only get the chance to architect fewer than half a dozen times in their career?”
—Ted Neward, ArchitecturalTalks
That's exactly why we created the Architect Gym. Every month, you get complex, enterprise-grade scenarios that challenge even experienced architects—real business cases with interconnected requirements across all Salesforce domains.
Learn from veteran CTA coaches as they dissect requirements, uncover hidden business needs, and demonstrate different architectural approaches. Watch experts tackle the same challenges you face—and apply those insights immediately. Every scenario is written in business language with competing priorities and hidden needs—just like real client engagements. You'll learn to break down ambiguous requirements, explore multiple solutions, and defend your architectural decisions under expert pessure.
This is architectural practice at its purest: complex problems, expert insights, and room to learn from mistakes—without putting your projects or reputation at risk.
