Testimonials
Great training ! Eindelijk een framework dat agile development met enige vorm van voorbereiding toont en duidelijk toelaat agile buiten ICT toe te passen. Perfecte use-case. Dit laat me eindelijk toe agile en GDPM concepten in change projecten te structureren zonder het zelf te moeten uitvinden. Zo kan ik veel projecten een structuur geven en overbrengen naar klant of sponsor binnen een gekend framework ipv iets specifiek te moeten ontwikkelen.
