Soft Side of IT

My last post mentioned having a ITtoolbox blog & this is the URL:
  http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/soft-side-of-it

My future postings from this site will also be on IT Toolbox.
With this new affiliation, let’s update the purpose of this blog.

---

This blog is to discuss the soft side of Information Technology & making IT folks more relatable. As a person who worked in numerous roles between business & IT, we often see issues that come out of nowhere; then in hindsight, it seems so obvious (most of the time).

Soft side of IT can include:
• Soft skills
• IT uses
• Communication & Interactions
• Blindspots
• Personalities & Traits
• Meetings & Project
• Life
• …
Basically, anything besides the ‘code’.

With the interactions between project managers, administrators, developers, IT analysts & Business users (Finance, Billing, Marketing, Customer Service, Procurement, Inventory, Operations …), there are bound to be some misunderstandings somewhere, somehow … then those IT projects are delayed.

Let’s hope we shine a spotlight on some of those area & drive some discussions.
