In today’s competitive environment, being the first to market is critical. However, what happens when there’s such a heavy focus on building teams and changing roles that the quality aspects of your transformation are put on the back burner?

Any move to agility may run into impediments if you haven’t engaged quality from the beginning, or worse, have rushed unfinished or buggy products to market.

In this one hour discussion, the panelists will talk about how organizations use an agile mindset and approach to transition from traditional ways of thinking to including a QMO when delivering quality products and solutions incrementally. We will explore the quality journey from an ad hoc and manual orientation to an automated continuous learning approach.
