TechReady 17

TechReady is an internal technical event, where the ALM Rangers connect with and bridge the field and the product teams. At every TechReady (TR) there is fierce (friendly) competition between the Development track and the ALM Rangers sub-track, driven by a quest for quality and collaboration.

ALM Rangers

The event was a huge success and apart from achieving a 4.76/5 average across nine sessions, the ALM Rangers collaborated and had lots of fun at the same time as should be evident from the picture gallery below.

Pictures taken @ TR17 … there is time for work and fun!
