Early stage architects describe a period of learning about the foundations of the field. The BTABoK describes these as understanding ‘The Red Thread’ or learning the basic set of competencies of an architect (The 5 Pillars). This introductory period is followed by a long period of working to deeply understand these primary skills and deliverables. The Foundation architect is often described as an intern/resident or similar inside of employers. Depending on the length of their experience in another role/job such as programming or product management, they may advance more quickly or slowly through this level.
