01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION

This session covers two critical soft skills for architects:

  • creating clear, concise documentation of software architecture, both structure and decisions
  • presenting architectural ideas as clearly as possible

New architects find soft skills like creating lucid documentation and building compelling presentations challenging. This presentation covers a variety of ways to document ideas in software architecture, ranging from diagramming techniques (that aren't UML) to Architecture Decisions Records and ultimately to presentations. The second part of the talk leverages patterns and anti-patterns from the Presentation Patterns book to help architects build clear and concise representations of their ideas.
