Coursework content

If you are here, it means you want a job in tech. But coding is not the only skill you must have to get a job. Professional skills are as important.

But what is the primary goal of people that work in tech? We build Digital Products. And they are built with various roles, such as Sofware Developers, UX Designers, Testers, Product Owners/ Managers, and Scrum Masters.

Research the professional skills needed for every role mentioned above and write three sentences describing these skills and why they are important.

For example: Software Engineers must be able to work collaboratively with all team members, so conflicts can be reduced.
