Hi Steve, Thanks for the response. I´ll reply with some questions to know if I understand you correctly: I´m presuming that you have a mainline and then the...
If there was an Agile CM Manifesto, then this statement should be part of it! Trustworthy Transparency *over* Tiresome Traceability Note that my position on...
