Agile Insights with Neil Benson: Rethinking Azure DevOps Practices 46:28

We are THRILLED to have had the opportunity to talk with Neil Benson, Founder and CEO of Customery. Neil first reached out to us to tell us everything that we did wrong with our Azure DevOps (ADO) best practices, and we knew we had to have him on the podcast. All jokes aside, much like everything we do with technology, there are so many different ways to complete something - people have differing opinions on everything from how to build forms, when to use Power Automate, and how to run their Agile teams. Neil is an Agile expert and spends his time mentoring and coaching individuals and businesses on how to run Agile optimally for their organizations. Basically, he's an expert in the field and we wanted to hear his advice (and share it with you) on how to leverage ADO that may be a little different than what we're currently doing.
