Topic:

Shifting Quality Left the Agile Way

Description:

There is a lot of material around shifting quality left. However there is no one single place which explains all the steps that should be adopted. I would like to share my experience and learning of converting a project that had 1500+ end to end tests and waterfall processes into a test pyramid model with Agile concepts. The challenges in implementing changes in a large enterprise world and the step by step solutions will be explained as part of the presentation.

Learning Objectives:

The speaker will be describing the challenges and the steps adopted at technical and people level in a project to improve the story turnout time that had a lot of quality concerns due to misconceptions around Agile practices. The environment was very defensive towards changes and showed no interest in learning and improving. She adopted multiple steps to win over the scenario on trial and error basis. The process involved creating milestones and breaking those into smaller achievable goals. Overall, the presentation will explain how to implement disruptive changes optimally.
