„
Principles of Application Development. This is a three-day course that
teaches a pragmatic and flexible project management framework for
application development projects. Participants will learn best practices and
principles for such topics as teaming, the milestone-based process, and risk
management.
„
Principles of Component Design. This course presents the MSF approach
to successfully transforming general business taxonomies (business
requirements) into technology taxonomies (application and infrastructure
components) that are well suited for implementation using Microsoft
products and technologies. The three-day course presents the MSF design
process, including the conceptual, logical, and physical phases, and relates
these to the MSF process and team models utilized in Principles of
Infrastructure Deployment and Application Development.
„
Principles of Enterprise Architecture. The clear vision that helps an
organization express where it wants to go is embodied in the enterprise
architecture (EA). In this course, you will learn how to build an effective
EA by understanding your business goals and objectives and using that
information to identify and evaluate the correct technologies and systems
that will help you improve the value your organization derives from
technology.
