Summary

In this talk, Dan contrasts the traditional top-down and bottom-up approaches with a proven "outside-in" approach based on real life experience - engaging with and listening to our stakeholders. He shows how this can allow us to stay firmly on track, leading to clean code and effective design that provides maximum value to our stakeholders, not just the famous Scrum Product Owner
