Neal Ford Director / Software Architect / Meme Wrangler, Thoughtworks, Inc. ‟ This book covers one of the most important aspects of software development, the so-called 'soft skills', which ironically present the biggest challenges for many developers. It is chock-full of patterns and advice, some of which are obvious in hindsight, which are often the hardest to see beforehand. Highly useful and recommended for technologists at all levels. ˮ

Communication Patterns is an excellent read for architects, modelers, and developers. While reading through the extensive set of patterns in this book, I often had a warm, deja vu feeling.

Every time I embark on a new software project or collaborate with teams and stakeholders, I turn to this book for guidance on the best approach and how to structure our conversations. ˮ

Nick Tune Principal Consultant, Empathy Software ‟ Communicating ideas effectively is not a skill that many developers and architects are formally taught, so we go through our careers doing it badly and learning via trial and error. What Jacqui has put together in this book should be foundational knowledge for any aspiring software developer and will fill in many gaps for seasoned practitioners. ˮ
💬
Henning Schwentner Coding Storyteller, WPS (Workplace Solutions) ‟ I got into programming because of computers. Then I learned that programming is just as much about people as it is about bits and bytes. Jacqui shows in this book how we programmers can communicate with people—with each other and with domain experts—in a very programmer-friendly way: by describing the patterns that lie behind it. ˮ
