Creating an Agile Environment(methodsandtools.com)

submitted by martinig(568) 4 years, 1 month ago

Migrating to Agile is more than changing your process. It also requires a change in culture. For most companies changing culture is the most difficult part.

We will lay out a game plan for obtaining support from line management, the team, the individual and executive management. read more...

Exploratory Testing: Finding the Music of Software Investigation(methodsandtools.com)

submitted by martinig(568) 4 years, 3 months ago

As a software testing consultant and musician, I meet a lot of skilled testers who do amazing work. Through experience and a lot of trial and error, they have developed skills they can’t easily explain. Unfortunately, with software testing, there aren’t as many obvious avenues for skill development as there are for musicians. Many software testers don’t realize that there are learnable exploratory testing skills they can develop to help them become even more valuable to software development teams. read more...

A "Bones" Approach for Dead Projects(devagile.com)

submitted by martinig(568) 4 years, 7 months ago

Once they are finished, often the best thing that will happen is a little celebration for the project team. Nobody will formally look back at a project to understand what went well or wrong and why those things happen, so that this project can actually rest in peace and lessons learned could be used for the next projects. There is however an activity to analyze project after their completion. It is called "post mortem" analysis or "retrospective" in the agile approach and here are some resources on how to do it. read more...
