TechReady 14 Report … T+2–Beyond BRDLite and Architecture

Today was a loooooooooooooong day as we had sessions all day, followed by the Ask The Expert gathering. It was really great to see all the colleagues from around the world, especially those who made it across from good old South-Africa Smile

Today’s ALM Ranger sessions were focused on BRDLite, Build Customization and Architecture Tooling Guidance. The guys did a sterling job in representing all three projects!
