G'day, I'm Neil Benson.

You'll be able to persuade your stakeholders to approve your proposals and win more projects. I'm a 14x Microsoft MVP who has been using an agile approach to estimating and building Microsoft business apps since 2008. This podcast is a companion to my online course, Estimating Business Apps.
