was a crash course in survival and in learning how to get along with people"; "a

„We now use the functionalities which we didn’t figure out in the beginning of the
project. We removed functionalities which we thought we needed. We have seen
weekly progress which helped us to think with the users instead of thinking for the
users. We were apart of the solution and feel proud of the result.”
Customer representative
„Of course the productivity went up because we all were aware of each
other’s work and we know where the overlap was and avoided
this [...] And the funny thing is, in the end, they didn’t pay much attention
to the FD, they rather trust the demo results.”
