Web 2.0 Lessons For Corporate Dev Teams 142
jcatcw writes "Quick, incremental updates, along with heavy user involvement, are key characteristics of the emerging software development methods championed by a new generation of Web 2.0 start-ups. A survey conducted for Computerworld showed that an overwhelming majority of the respondents said that traditional corporate development teams could benefit from Web 2.0 techniques, specifically the incremental feature releases, quick user feedback loops and quality assurance programs that include users. Fifty seven percent of the respondents said problem-solving and analytical skills will be key requirements for next generation developers.

If they thought problem solving skills were superfluous, it is because they think developers just do what they're told. So probably "listening" skills and good handwriting topped their list.
Possibly powerpoint assistance, formatting support, and powerswitch finding to round out the top five.
