Software development
industry belongs to the fastest growing industries in today’s world. All over
the world, the professionals who are connected with software development
industries are high in demand. So there is a hope for better opportunities in a
work environment with developed tools, fewer working hours and days. As well as
there are some uncertainty also, such as will the robots replace the human? The
more use of artificial intelligence will trouble our ways of morals and ethics?
Will we be getting less connected with each other at home and also at work?
Only the coming future can answer all these questionnaires. Here we will
discuss five emerging trends for the future of software development. Top Software Companies London already
started implementing these trends.
1. Collaboration vs
qualification
In the coming future,
collaboration skill will be a must for those who are working on software
development. Though previously a person with academic excellence was considered
to be a good candidate for any software development company. But the days are
near when they will judge you by your collaboration skill apart from several
academic degrees or qualifications. However, you have an excellent academic
record on the particular field, you will be ignored if you can not explain your
idea and convince them to buy-in your idea.
2. More generalists than
specialists
As we are going
forward to a data-driven world we have started adopting new features in order
to give more customer-based services. In order to work with these new features,
we need a huge mass of developers who will roll up their sleeves and will be
enthusiastic to work with any unknown or unfamiliar technology. Before there
was a high demand for experts or specialist for any particular technology but
in the coming future, there will be a high need for generalists in the software
development industry. It is already noticed that there are more requirement of
full sack developers in Software Development UK. So, in the near future, there will a lot of scope for
generalists.
3. Global mindset
An open mindset is
essential for every corporate sector. Especially for the software development
industry, a global mindset is always required. This can happen that your
co-workers are from different background with different thinking’s and culture.
In the software development industry, the work comes from different locations
and also from a remote location. It is very common that you will not get a
chance to meet with your coworker in person. So in these scenarios having a global
mindset or holding a welcoming attitude towards everyone is always needed for
better work. It also enhances the work experience.
4. Creative self-starters
instead of task implementers
Back in the day, if
you execute a particular work without any single mistake with minimal or simply
no supervision, you will be praised for your excellent work. But the day is
coming when the need for self-starters, who are ready to take any risk for the
sake of inventing or implementing some new techniques will be more. A robot can
do the same work with more accuracy than a human but it can not do any
innovative work as a human do.
5. End of linear career
progression
An estimation says,
60% of the new jobs of the 21st century will demand the skills and specializations,
that is only 20% for the present workforce. In previous years, the career
growth used to happen in a linear form. Such as a person working in a junior
role will become a manager after going through the mid-level and senior role.
But nowadays, as well as in future the career graph will be more in a lattice
form. You can move through your career on a horizontal, vertical or diagonal
form in any direction
We are already started
seeing the trailer of the future software development industries. So be
prepared for the massive change in the industry that is happening day by day.
