Jonathan Lowry
Release Train Engineer at New Balance
“It’s exciting to see the software here and the improvements to SAFe as well as how all the vendors are supporting those changes. “
Roy Boven
Senior Process Specialist
“What we also really liked about Kendis is that it’s running on its own database. It’s really a separate application, it’s not a plugin. On top of all that, we have a similar setup with Jira and Kendis in a test environment where people can practice and experiment with Kendis and Jira before working on real data “
