Software Architecture Superstream Series: Soft Skills Are the Hardest Part

Developers and architects like to solve technical problems, not people problems. However, as Gerald Weinberg was famous for saying, “No matter what they tell you, it’s always a people problem.” Exceptional interpersonal skills—teamwork, facilitation, and leadership among them—are at least half of what it takes to become an effective software architect (regardless of the actual role or title an architect may have). But attaining the skills that will ensure you can communicate clearly and get stakeholder buy-in can be a difficult proposition.

Join us for this Superstream event to learn more about these essential skills, understand why they’re so critical, and see how you can start putting them into practice.
