From engineer to problem solver

From Engineer to Problem Solver

A Forward Deployed Engineer doesn't simply receive requirements and build tickets. They work where the problem exists. They understand the customer. They design the solution. They build it. They help take it live. And they measure whether it actually creates impact.
The question is: Do you have the skills to work this way? This workshop will help you understand what those skills look like.

What an FDE does.
What skills an FDE needs.
