12 Essential Skills for Software Architects
Book Description
Master the Crucial Non-Technical Skills Every Software Architect Needs!
Thousands
of software professionals have the necessary technical qualifications
to become architects, but far fewer have the crucial non-technical
skills needed to get hired and succeed in this role. In today’s agile
environments, these “soft” skills have grown even more crucial to
success as an architect. For many developers, however, these skills
don’t come naturally–and they’re rarely addressed in formal training.
Now, long-time software architect Dave Hendricksen helps you fill this
gap, supercharge your organizational impact, and quickly move to the
next level in your career.
In 12 Essential Skills for Software Architects,
Hendricksen begins by pinpointing the specific relationship, personal,
and business skills that successful architects rely upon. Next, he
presents proven methods for systematically developing and sharpening
every one of these skills, from negotiation and leadership to pragmatism
and vision.
From
start to finish, this book’s practical insights can help you get the
architect position you want–and thrive once you have it!
The soft skills you need…
…and a coherent framework and practical methodology for mastering them!
