Yes. Easy to obtain if that’s what you’re asking. Designations are for employers not clients. fi360 does have some good collateral and a retirement plan advisor could build a practice around its resources, so could be worth it

"People just want it to work" is a thing clients have said about the product the company I work for makes. It's true. And it's all over. I usually think it's because Agile's method is what everyone thinks works but so much stuff across all tech areas seems to be released broken and then never fixed or fixed way too slowly. Anyone else feel this way? Has Agile worked for you and your clients?
