“Having a clear methodology and training in place has been very helpful when hiring people. Being able to tell candidates that we take Agile principles seriously—by mentioning that we have trained and certified Product Owners and Scrum Masters, and that we follow a clear Agile path—definitely makes a difference.”

• WALTER BAUER CTO, censhare
