What It’s Not
This is not an exhaustive review of all challenges in your organisation. I will focus on what I identify as the most pressing and impactful issues. Recommendations will be based on these priorities. The objective is to discover problems in development practices, which include inputs and outputs, to guide the development practice towards improvements.
