Book Club with Jacqui Read: Communication Patterns

Simply having a great idea or design isn't sufficient for the success of your software project. To garner support from stakeholders, foster collaboration within teams, and ensure everyone contributes to the vision, effective communication is crucial. In this pragmatic guide, Jacqui Read demonstrates how to skillfully present your architecture to secure stakeholder buy-in.

Miscommunication and a lack of consensus can result in escalating costs, unmet requirements, and an architecture that deviates from your original intentions. Using practical examples and patterns, this book illustrates how to craft documentation and diagrams that effectively convey your message to diverse audiences.

Key takeaways from this book include:

• Designing diagrams and documentation tailored to your audience, message, and project stage.
• Creating documentation and diagrams that are accessible to individuals with different roles, needs, or disabilities.
• Mastering written, verbal, and nonverbal communication for success in technical settings.
• Applying the communication patterns outlined in the book to real-world projects and software designs.
• Collaborating and communicating with distributed teams to successfully design and document software and technical projects.

Jacqui Read is an internationally-recognised solution and enterprise architect, with hands-on experience and expertise architecting and coding software systems. She specialises in assisting businesses, large and small, to create and enhance architecture practices, construct evolutionary architectures, and untangle and extract value from data and knowledge.
