Chapter 10. ACQUIRING THE SKILLS FOR SOA
Service oriented architecture (SOA) introduces a new mindset, new technologies, and software development tools. It is not surprising, then, that your employees will need training. What may not be so apparent is the breadth of roles that need to be trained. SOA brings the information technology (IT) and business close. Consequently, people from both sides and everyone in the middle will need some level of training in the SOA area.
A carefully developed skills-acquisition plan can train a large number of employees within a surprisingly small amount of time and budget. The key is to offer training in the right area at the right level of detail at the right time. This chapter will help you devise such a plan. First, we will identify the roles that the employees will play in business process management and SOA-based software development. Next, we will find out the kind of skills each role will need.
