In the fast pace of technology change, global business requires that software company must have people with skills to managing changes. Due to the education and training, most programmers are only focusing on doing their job by complete the task given to them by manager but a Software Engineer should do more than just getting the job done. A good software engineer always pay attention to all the changes in the industry by: Identifying and evaluating new software engineering methods and tools; understanding how people react to the new technology; understanding how company will adopt the new technology; supporting the changes of technology adoption and measure the effectiveness and benefits of technology adoption;
To do this, software engineer must understand the new technology, the benefits and risks and the aspect of the change process. Of course no technology is perfect or will remain forever but changes must be planned and managed to maximize the investment because it will impact the business of the company and its customers. Any change will provide the company with both opportunities and challenges. The opportunities are in the adoption of new technologies that will improve the quality of the products and services and the challenges is how to bring in the new technology without disrupt the current business process.
Managing technical changes is the skill taught in the software engineering program; it deals with the vision (What we want it to be), the mission (Why should we do it), the plan (The detail step by step on implement the change) and the scorecard (The set of measurements on benefits, productivity, cost savings for the business). Because the change will impact the business, software engineering training program must cover both technical and managerial. A good software engineer must also be a leader to keep the technical change efforts on track by letting people know what is expected of them and by being a role model for them.
The first step in technical changes is to make sure that people understand the impact of changes on the company's business goals. When people know what is expected of them, it is a lot easier for them to make appropriate choices. For example, if they know that meeting a customer's delivery schedule is most important, then any change that can help them meet the schedule will more likely be adopted. A software engineer must know how to communicate information to people. For example, when introducing a new tool, the information presented should describe: What the new tool is supposed to do and the benefits of using the tool, for example this tool can be used to estimate any kind of project, provide a detailed task list, clarify project assumptions and build consensus among the participants of the project.
In the fast changing world, it often does not make sense to rely on knowledge that people learned from many years ago but on the current skills based on "Just in time" training and a good software engineer must be prepared to lead this kind of efforts by providing just in time help, advise and sharing knowledge with others based on their experiences that they have done. A good software engineer should also be a mentor, a leader, a friend who ready to help other friends in need.
To help the organization to succeed, it is important for a software engineer to remain knowledgeable about the technological changes in the industry and that is why continuous learning and training is essential. A good software engineer always learns new things and never be content with what they already know because technical changes happen all the time. To some people, learning stops after school but software engineer know that school learning can not sustain people throughout their career, what they learned will be obsolete in a few year so they have to continuous learning new things because the software engineering training focuses less on knowledge but more on "how to learn".
