Agility and EngineeringNew article drop.
We recently finished the fifth wave of a training program I curated called "Engineering for Agility" and as it is a bit special I thought it may be useful to share the idea.
The goal of the program is to give participants a broad understanding of modern software engineering methods and practices.
