Scrum Inc. has been a Trifork partner for over a decade in many parts of the world, especially Denmark and Switzerland.

Their innovative CEO, Joern Larsen has always been about speed and now with a growing global company has some fun as well.

It has yet to be ratified by the needed 2/3rds of the States. The first bill in the US regarding equal pay for equal work was introduced in 1944 but didn’t pass through the legislature until 1963. Depending upon which study you read, the pay gap between men and women can vary from as high as 22% to as little as 5% . The latter sounds great, except that 5% is a big gap when it comes to earnings – ask anyone pa

Following its successful launch, there were further enhancements and the WWDC Apple Event in 2017 saw the vital announcement of Siri integration with the third-party apps. However, this integration was limited to a few apps only such as messaging, payments, photo search, and booking apps. With the release of iOS 11 , this list was further extended and one also witnessed the introduction of SiriKit. The introduction of SiriKit has added another feather into the cap. This framework has simplified the task of the  iOS app developers to a great extent.
