- Agile Room
- en
One of the most interesting recent evolutions in the agile world is the Software Craftsmanship movement, where a lot of emphasis is put on the skills of each individual programmer.
This presentation makes a case on why, on the top of the programming skills, a software craftsman should also train his soft skills capabilities in order to excel in communicating with colleagues, managers and customers.
Some basic techniques coming from various coaching schools (Solution Focused, Transactional Analysis, Improvisational Theatre) will be presented in a practical and experiential format so they can be applied to the daily life of software projects.
Video for this talk is only available for conference guests.
