"As an important output of our survey, participants highlighted that besides technical expertise good communication skills are fundamental for developers within a software team ."
Absolutely true in my experience. A high-performing team of majority women coached me to have our teams write "ground rules" for team communication. The improvement was a big leap forward. Many example ground rules are in my git repo:

- Pfhreak 7y ago> good communication skills are fundamental for developers within a software team This is absolutely true. Fundamentally, a great engineer is doing a TON of communicating -- writing technical designs, whiteboarding different approaches, explaining reasoning in code reviews, breaking down tasks for more junior engineers, coaching and mentoring others, interviewing... and about a million other things. The role of communication only increases as the problem complexity and scope increases.
