Consultants vs Developers: Stop the Fight! Round 2

11:15 - 12:00 ROOM 1.85+1.86 (165) Back to event schedule

After two years of successful collaboration and invaluable insights, we are back with Round 2 of our popular session, "Consultants vs Developers: Stop the Fight!" This session builds on the experiences and lessons learned from our initial discussion, aimed at fostering better cooperation between consultants and developers.

Have you ever, as a consultant, heard from developers, "We cannot do it," or as a developer, heard from a consultant, "That is not what I expected"? We aim to bridge this gap and improve efficiency in our workflows. In this session, we will delve deeper into what consultants should focus on when describing functionality and how developers can better understand business requirements to avoid common coding pitfalls. Join us to learn strategies that have proven effective over the past two years and continue to improve collaboration and productivity within your teams.
