Managing partner at Trendig helping agile teams build clearer product backlogs.

## About

Arjan Brands trains and coaches agile teams to build better software. As Managing Partner at Trendig Technology Services, he focuses on quality testing and requirements engineering, helping developers and product owners align on what actually needs to be built.

His workshops often tackle the root of software friction: poorly defined user stories. Arjan teaches stakeholders how to clean up messy product backlogs, slice stories effectively, and write clearer acceptance criteria using practical frameworks like INVEST.
