Una Guía para Desarrolladores sobre Cómo Comunicar, Convencer y Colaborar Efectivamente con los Stakeholders
Es una historia tan antigua como el tiempo: la colaboración entre desarrolladores y stakeholders de negocios ha sido durante mucho tiempo un desafío, con una falta de comunicación clara que a menudo deja a ambas partes frustradas. Los mejores desarrolladores pueden comprender profundamente las necesidades de sus contrapartes de negocios, comunicar efectivamente la estrategia técnica sin perder a la audiencia no técnica y convencer al negocio de tomar las decisiones correctas. Trabajando en una consultoría, he fallado y tenido éxito en arquitectar y “vender” visiones técnicas, aprendiendo muchas lecciones en el camino.Ya sea que trabajes en una empresa de productos, seas consultor/freelancer, o quieras aventurarte más allá de ser solo un desarrollador, la capacidad de convencer y comunicar claramente con los stakeholders puede diferenciarte en la industria tecnológica. Esto se vuelve aún más importante con el auge de GenAI y el mercado de desarrolladores cada vez más competitivo, ya que la resolución de problemas y la comunicación efectiva son clave para posicionarte.En esta masterclass, compartiré ejemplos del mundo real, tanto buenos como malos, y te guiaré a través de poner la teoría en práctica mediante dojos.

Carga Cognitiva y tu Entorno de Desarrollo
Cognitive load is the amount of available memory and cognitive resources a person has, and cognitive overload occurs when the load exceeds what can be sustained. Various factors, including disabilities and external factors like stress, can affect cognitive load. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) impact cognitive load differently, and instructional design can help reduce cognitive load for individuals with these conditions. Understanding cognitive complexity in code, optimizing the development environment, and minimizing distractions are important for managing cognitive load. Multitasking increases cognitive load, and using organizational systems, automation, and constant learning can help mitigate cognitive load and improve productivity.
