I've decided to develop in IT-architecture, but I'm faced with a lot of information, which just kills me. Everywhere they write about TOGAF, SAFe, some other frameworks, and I can't understand what I really need to start. TOGAF sounds like a basic standard, but I don't want to waste my time on something that will end up being theory without practical use. Are there any courses or materials that will really help me figure out which of these I need for my job? Share your experiences if anyone has already taken the training or exams for these certifications.
If you want to develop as an IT architect, the first thing you need to do is to decide on a certification. I would advise you to start with TOGAF and SAFe. These certifications give you the foundation you need to understand how to architect and interact with your team. There's a great article at https://www.advisedskills.com/blog/enterprise-architecture/do-i-need-certifications-to-become-an-it-architect-a-closer-look-at-togaf-and-safe-for-architects that covers everything in detail. It really helps to choose the right direction and not waste time on unnecessary things.
Courses with positive reviews from real users are always a reliable choice. They provide an excellent way for experts to enhance their qualifications and are also ideal for beginners who are just starting to explore the field.
