7 Rules Of Success Beyond Code
The Tech Career Playbook includes areas such as self-organization, professional responsibility, communication, IT-processes, collaboration, mentoring, technical leadership and business acumen. We analyzed hundreds of interviews and identified recurring themes that go beyond mere patterns; they are definitive rules. These guidelines encapsulate the key areas where you should showcase your skills. We refer to them as "The 7 Rules Of IT Career Success", which are also the chapters of our course with more than 7 hours of video content.

RULE 3
Take Responsibility: Become The Go-To Expert In Your Field
This chapter deals with the important IT processes in the business and covers the flanking processes along the entire software development life cycle. A go-to-expert must be able to understand them, explain them clearly and apply them. You will learn how to become such an expert.
RULE 4
Bridge The Tech Language Gap: Be A Compelling Communicator
This chapter is about the different types of communication at work. We pay particular attention to practical helpers for everyday working life when communicating with the team, but especially when communicating with other departments, different hierarchical levels, customers and non-technicians.
