This was an absolutely great learning experience due to both the way the course was facilitated and the experience that architects brought to the class. Thanks Adrienne Wilson & Anne Madden for being so patient in answering Q&As which at times were in the broader Agile context. I am looking forward to applying the knowledge and optimising our Agile Release Trains.
