I use Agile & Lean principles through a quality lens to help teams improve communication, achieve closer collaboration & faster feedback.
Each of these helps increase throughput & smooth delivery of value to customers which enables you to validate your ideas & assumptions sooner.
I predominantly find myself helping development teams improve their Agile testing to remove bottlenecks. This includes training in testing ideas as well the soft people skills to help teams grow together.
Do any of these situations sound familiar to you?
Testing is squeezed in at the end of the delivery cycle
How do you test throughout the development cycle to bake quality in?
The wrong thing gets built
You wait for ages & when you finally get to see the requested product, its not what you asked for - how do we know what is the right thing?
Testers see themselves as the gatekeepers of quality
Why should they be responsible for “signing off” software? They didn’t ask for it and they’re not funding it therefore why should they give no/go decision?
Testing is a bottleneck & hindering our iterative development
We’re trying to be more agile in our approach, but our testing is preventing the short cycles & frequent delivery we’re striving for.
We don’t need Testers, we’re Agile
Yes, your development cycle may be highly automated but there is so much value a Tester can add to your time - let me show you!
