As an architect, learn to communicate purposefully and interact constructively with stakeholders. Master role clarification, recipient-oriented communication, moderation and dealing with conflicts in development teams.
Define the role of the software architect: development of one’s own role and interests
Shining a light on stakeholder interests: development of the contact points to other stakeholders and their interests
Learn about the conflict analysis canvas: presentation of the canvas
Analyse conflict cases: consider personal practical cases with the help of the individual elements of the canvas
Develop constructive conflict resolution: presentation of strategies for the prevention of conflicts or their constructive resolution (including moderation of heterogenous groups, receiver-oriented presenting and convincing, coaching questions and lateral management, quick decisions in the group after consent)
Use constructive conflict resolution: use of the appropriate solution strategies in your own practical cases
Transfer: (preventive) behavior for the early recognition and resolution of conflicts in your work
The target group of the training is anyone in whose line of work conflicts or unclear communication occur. The course supports software architects, software developers, scrum masters, agile coaches, facilitators, and managers.
What keeps software architects from doing the work they are supposed to be doing? They are positioned between the conflicting priorities of different stakeholders (management, customers, development team, etc.) and must communicate and mediate depending on who they are dealing with. They must develop solutions with their development team that can be positively implemented while bridging the gap between budget and quality. They have to think outside the box and at the same time provide practical and all-knowing support wherever it is required. And all that with an often vaguely defined role leading to differences in expectations and without any management authority, while still bearing responsibility as the architect for the outcome. These circumstances lead to conflicts small and large which we address in this training in order to resolve them for the future.This training course provides you with concrete, usable tools for your work. We work on your cases and learn strategies for constructive negotiation, moderation, and conflict resolution. For example, you receive our pocket-sized in-house-developed conflict analysis canvas which helps you to analytically respond to confusing situations:
The International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB®) brings together leading experts from industry, consulting companies, and science. This includes many people of distinction in the world of software architecture. And all with one goal: competent education and further training – internationally recognized, standardized, certified, and always up to date. We are proud that many of us as curators in iSAQB® have jointly masterminded the curricula and examination tasks.

With Kim, the world of New Work has gained a powerful change maker. As an elected board member of a software company, Kim has taught and learned many important lessons in the areas of self-organization and leadership. Her wonderfully open manner is not only a testament to her considerable courage, but also to her deep experience in organizational development. In this episode, you will learn, among other things, what verbal thinkers are and why it is beneficial for managers to show their own insecurity.

Kim Nena Duggen, curator of the SOFT advanced module, addresses relevant questions in the interview and gives a good overview of what you can expect from the SOFT training.
How do you motivate employees to take responsibility for their own professional development? Not at all, says Kim Duggen, because the assumption is that this desire is intrinsic. In the podcast, she explains how to awaken this dormant need for further training.
