Leading Agile at Scale

We asked her a few questions to see what she got out of the experience.

Lessons from the Ice-Block King, Part II
I do not profess to be, as way too many in the tech industry do today, a blockchain guru or subject matter expert. I leave that designation to 11:FS co-founder Simon Taylor.

A solution that can actually be delivered and that addresses a real business case.
