Welcome to the Better Tech Leadership podcast, where we connect with tech leaders from all over the world to share their know-how on bridging the gap between business and tech.
In this episode, host Matt Warcholinski, Co-Founder of software development agency Brainhub talks with Christoffer Søgaard Lund, Head of Product at Neonomics.
During the conversation they cover:
- Setting Clear Project Goals: The importance of defining project objectives early to prevent downstream issues, emphasizing that deliberate planning enables smoother and faster execution.
