What students are saying

An insightful course for someone who is beginning to delve into the world of DevEx. Laura is a fantastic and knowledgeable teacher who tailored the material each day based on topics raised and discussed on the platform. I was to apply the techniques learned and gain insights into my organisation's issues. A fantastic introduction to the topic.

Laura had a great mix of presentations and hands-on discussions, which was ideal to deepen my understanding of the topic. Even though it's an extremely broad topic, there was a fair amount of time dedicated to learning, questioning, and discussing all topics without the fear of rushing through them. Learning not only from her but also through the experiences, perspectives, and pain points of other participants helped me to gain a more holistic view of the topic. It's a great course that I can highly recommend.

The content of this course was great, but the real value was seeing how Laura worked through real world use cases in real time. I learned a lot through example in how this course was presented and structured.

Laura is an industry leader when it comes to measuring team performance, and her course reflects that. She provided clear and actionable information with an overview of the state of the measurement space, and coupled it with a great community to discuss with, and a valuable library of templates, information, and guidelines to help anyone get started in rolling out measurements that can be used to unblock your development teams, and help people delivery more value in a sustainable manner. I came out of this course with an understanding of where my current team's efforts were struggling, and how I could change things to more effectively help my team.
