This chapter discusses the skill set that today’s IT projects require beyond pure technical competence: the pragmatic consideration of established practices, the ability to communicate and collaborate openly and effectively across disciplines, an awareness of one’s own uncertainty and limits of understanding, and the ability to focus on those system aspects that provide the most value to the customer. Besides general software technology and methodology skills, the chapter in particular focuses on skills related to dealing with the challenges introduced by mobility, agility, and flexibility of applications, as well as the increasing need for in-depth domain knowledge.
