Reporting the cost of our projects is a necessary evil and it’s often seen a bureaucratic overhead.
Learn how to achieve a level of reporting that your financial team will love with the minimal impact on your software teams.

There is a way to keep everyone happy! You will learn how to gather the right information to make financial reporting viable and to work with your financial teams to make it it as easy as possible with a minimal overhead for your software teams
