Today’s corporate environment is as challenging as ever. Teams are far more distributed, financial performance is being challenged by unprecedented inflation, demands for tech adoption have been accelerating and resources to get it all done are simply far too scarce - especially when developer shortages are at an all-time high.  So, how do we emerge successfully?
