S90.04 is Arcitura Education's SOA Project Delivery & Methodology exam, part of the SOA Certified Professional (SOACP) program and associated with the Certified SOA Consultant credential. It tests how SOA projects are planned and delivered: the SOA project delivery lifecycle, top-down, bottom-up and agile delivery strategies, project roles and responsibilities, and an introduction to service-oriented analysis and service modeling. Arcitura exams are delivered through Pearson VUE and OnVUE online proctoring. TroyTec offers 100 S90.04 practice questions in PDF and Online Test Engine formats.
S90.04 covers the process side of service-oriented architecture: how SOA initiatives are planned, staffed and delivered from first analysis through to deployment and ongoing service management. It is less about technology or design patterns and more about how organizations successfully build a service inventory over time.
The exam covers four connected areas. The first is the SOA project delivery lifecycle, which runs from adoption planning and inventory analysis through service-oriented analysis, design, development, testing, deployment and versioning. The second is delivery strategies, which compares top-down, bottom-up and agile ("meet-in-the-middle") approaches and their trade-offs. The third is the project roles SOA introduces, such as service analyst, service architect and schema and policy custodians. The fourth is the foundations of service-oriented analysis and service modeling, meaning how service candidates are identified from business requirements and existing systems.

S90.04 is Arcitura Education's SOA Project Delivery & Methodology exam in the SOA Certified Professional program. It covers the SOA project delivery lifecycle, delivery strategies, project roles, and an introduction to service-oriented analysis and service modeling.
S90.04 is associated with Arcitura's Certified SOA Consultant credential in the SOACP program. Its analysis and modeling topics also lead into Arcitura's current SOA Analyst certification.
The exam compares top-down delivery (analysis first, highest long-term reuse), bottom-up delivery (faster, project-driven, less reuse) and agile or meet-in-the-middle delivery, which balances the two.
Not in the general sense. S90.04 focuses on SOA-specific delivery: lifecycle stages, delivery strategies and the roles that service-oriented projects introduce. It does not cover generic project management frameworks.
It suits SOA consultants, enterprise architects, IT project and delivery leads, and service analysts working on service-oriented initiatives.
