CLIENT FEEDBACK

What Clients Say

"Paul certainly knew his material. He broke down processes in such a way that both technical/non-technical employees were able to digest the same material and apply it to their domain ... The course was intended to enhance the symbiotic relationship between business and tech and that it did."

Workshop Participant

Applied DDD

"Common language used from inception to implementation, from business discussions through to code. Event storming and context mapping both powerful tools to ensure shared understanding and then to help prioritize efforts. Additional insight into Development work and how PO can help make this work easier and rally the team around shared understanding."
