Presentation Resources
Technical roles and business roles are usually doing very different work day-to-day. But they have to find ways to work towards the same goals of maintaining customer focus, driving towards revenue goals together, communicating effectively, and more. This discussion intends to focus on a few things that work, a few things that don't, and other ideas for ensuring the business is heading in the right direction regardless of team differences.
