About This Podcast
In the early 1990s, lateralworks conducted an extensive multi-company study involving over 500 people who worked on fast-to-market projects in Silicon Valley. Since then, they have worked with hundreds of teams to accelerate the delivery of new technology products to market. The research continues today to keep the best practices current.
This podcast series will share many of the practices that teams use to deliver the right product to the market at the right time.
