Software Quality Group of New England ( SQGNE)

Dec 13 6:00PM

We've all heard that agile approaches are a team-based approach, requiring all the skills and capabilities of a cross-functional team-including testers. Why then, does it still seem as if some teams and organizations think they don't need (no stinkin') testers? They are not using the agile mindset and the agile values to create terrific products. You, as a tester/QA person can help others learn the agile mindset and value with your day-to-day work. You can use your mindset to build your courage to lead the agile transition, for yourself, for your team, and maybe the larger organization.
Johanna will discuss how you can develop an agile mindset, seeing and living the "art of the possible." We'll discuss how your mindset influences your change artistry tools, and maybe even what you call yourself. We'll see how to learn from small successes and continue to make progress, as you change yourself and your organization.

SQGNE Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month from September through June, at the offices of Genesys, 77 South Bedford Street, 5th floor, Bedford, MA.
