Partner Services: Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method

SEI-Certified ATAM Leaders conduct SEI-authorized ATAM evaluations on behalf of SEI Partner organizations. An SEI-authorized ATAM evaluation is led by an SEI-Certified ATAM Leader whose team is made up of individuals who have received the SEI ATAM Evaluator certificate. SEI-Certified ATAM Leaders are experts in software architecture evaluation using the ATAM, which requires technical expertise in software architecture and quality attributes, a working knowledge of the ATAM, and strong facilitation skills. The five-course sequence and field exercise that comprise the ATAM Leader certification provide a qualified software professional with the technical depth and social techniques needed to lead an SEI-authorized ATAM.
