Pragmatic Approach on IT Architect Certification Development – the journey
1. Create a Profession (umm, look around you, since 2002)2. All works must be based on IT Architect practitioners (no vendor
companies influenced, since 2002)3. Develop a baseline on IT Architect skill set (2004-2005)4. Construct ITABOK-IT Architecture Body of Knowledge (2005-2007)5. Convert ITABOK to a curriculum for training and teaching IT Architect i.e.
ATP-Architect Training Program (2008)6. Introduce IASA Certification and Board CITA Certification to certify IT
Architects (end 2009)7. Market, prove and deliver IT Architecture business values (2010+)
• Note: All established professions work this way
