Common skills

[Rodrigo Lopes]

Hi,
I've quick read through the table of contents. Don't you think these are required skills for any role in a team?

[arulk pillai]

Yes in general, but the importance and priority of those soft skills can vary for roles. For example, more business facing, more meetings, more customer driven, etc.

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

Yes, but some become more important as you advance. Like negotiation, dealing with the customer, etc. And while I haven't read the book, I'd like to think there are examples of how the skills apply to an architect role.

Hi Rodrigo,

I do believe these skills are useful to most members of the team, but may not necessarily be required.

They become intensely important for architects that work closely with a wide variety of teams - where they need to interact with new product development, testing, operations, management, executives, tech leads, developers...

Thank you for the question!
