Overview
Having a great idea isn't enough to make your software project succeed. If you want stakeholders to buy into your design and teams to collaborate and contribute to the vision, you also need to communicate effectively.
In this event, you'll learn how to successfully present your architecture, get stakeholders to jump on board, and use specific ways of thinking to assist and accelerate what you can do as an architect. Concrete examples help you understand how to create presentations, documentation, and diagrams that actually get the message across to the different audiences you'll face. Join us to develop these essential skills, understand why they’re so critical, and find out how to start putting them into practice.
What you’ll learn and how you can apply it
- Understand how to use specific techniques and tools to communicate software architecture to varied audiences
- Explore ways to influence behavior in a particular direction, rather than having to enforce compliance
- Use clear and concise language and techniques to ensure your message is delivered effectively
Recommended follow-up
- Read Communication Patterns (book)
- Read “Diagramming Architecture” (chapter 23 in Fundamentals of Software Architecture, second edition)

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
