Developers and Validation Professionals: Communication
Developers are pragmatists and validation professionals are methodists. Developers excel when they think outside of the box and validation professionals are rewarded for precisely documenting the inside of the box. (It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion, isn't it?) The dichotomy is not as hard to unite as you might imagine, and requires only those concepts with which you're already familiar: communication and presentation.
