Client Name: Capgemini
Launch Date: July 2023

Project Objectives
1. Design an engaging experience for Capgemini employees interested in exploring the architect path.

(3) Meeting with a Client
(4) Participating in the Architect Community
3. User Experience Review of the Learning Lab's Design
Review and test the UI/UX of the four modules in collaboration with the SMEs, update content and design based on feedback, and finalize the modules.

Context and Challenges
The target audience for this certificate is Capgemini employees who are interested in exploring the architect role, which means that our course needed to be:
(1) Introductory enough to be understood by individuals who are not yet familiar with the architect role.
(2) Engaging and exciting to entice learners to seek the architect certification and continue in the architect path.
(3) Informative so the learner can get a glimpse of the role of an architect and decide whether the architect path is suitable for them.
It was quite complicated to collaborate with an extremely busy (but dedicated) team of architects to ensure that all those goals were achieved within this new and innovative course that had never been offered before.
