DORA Practitioner
What is a DORA Practitioner ?
You can imagine him as a blacksmith at the center of the workshop: The DORA practitioner shapes, connects and hardens – so that a complex set of rules like DORA becomes a viable and resilient implementation structure within the company.
He is not only a project manager, but also a designer, coordinator and doer – the one who, with a steady hand and a clear plan, creates order in the heat of the regulatory forge.
