"I‘ve enjoyed your tutorials and got valuable insights from them." Maik Wojcieszak


"I really found value in working through the User Story workshop. I liked the format and easy going pace and the mix of techniques demonstrated. I think folks new or seasoned would benefit spending time working and thinking about how we approach the work. I recommended to all my teams that this is a brilliant wee course packed with nuggets of gold we should be doing. I invite you to discover this mine of information and share with your team." Donald Henderson, NHS Scotland
