In my experience working as a software developer for more than 6 years, I've had to work in environments in which communication has been the key to have successful projects. Today, I want to share with you these tips:
Negotiation: Sometimes, we do not agree with some co-workers about how to solve a technical issue, so, having the ability to negotiate the params of a controversial task is key to solving it.
A practical way to do it is talking with a technical leader, I mean, an intermediary that can help you and your co-worker fix the issue. Also, the scorecards used in SCRUM are a mechanism that can help all the team to decide what is the better focus and give you the opportunity to argue why you are choosing an option.
Be concise: A good practice to be effective in daily meetings is to have established order, for example, in SCRUM, all members of the team need to answer three key questions. But it's really important that each member.
Assertiveness: In some companies, having a knowledge base it's really important to document the more relevant concepts and to have order in each area, so, to have good writing skills to create documents with assertive content it's very relevant.
This is really useful because a lot of companies use Jira or tools like Notion.so to create documentation about weekly meetings, and other things, so, in the process of hire software developers, the companies pay a lot of attention to these soft skills.
