Engagement/Mozlando Projects
Our goal in Engagement is to move towards an agile philosophy work flow for marketing projects. This is completely new to our organization and will take a lot of effort and persistence to be successful.
Utilizing our time in Mozlando to introduce everyone to this methodology, gives us a rare opportunity to have all of engagement in one place working together through the process - Getting to understand the principles that will work for our org.
