Software architecture is half technical and half social The software architect has to sell their ideas to different audiences, like: –Customers and product managers –Developers and testers Almost all software designers have to present solutions to a group The best way to get good at a practical skill like this is - to practice!

4. Or, drawing on The Far Side: “Look what Zog do!”

5. Architects do this a lot… Learning from someone else’s experience Goal for the listeners is to apply it to something they are going to do, like: –Trying to go to product lines is tricky! and takes time, or –Yes, you can Open Source the development of an operating system

6. How about the week 10 talks? The talk on your research paper is also a common thing for designers to do. –Often, it explores a new technology or design method you’re considering using –I often did these in industry, on new ideas we might try in products The talk wrapping-up your project is a retrospective. –It’s like a case study on your own stuff!
