Businesses today expect high-quality software to be delivered quickly. They have implemented Agile to respond to rapidly changing requirements and DevOps to meet the demand for speed.

The Agile manifesto emphasizes reducing delivery time and creating working software as the primary measure of progress. DevOps, on the other hand, is the most logical extension of Agile’s goals of increased collaboration, shorter feedback cycles, and broken silos.

Without “continuous testing,” the “Agile and DevOps” approach to digital transformation is incomplete, inefficient, and ineffective. Businesses rely on continuous testing to drive digital transformation by implementing DevOps, enabling automation, and embracing the cloud.

Once continuous testing is well aligned with the SDLC, teams can achieve a consistent and long-term development pace.

Over time, software testing processes have evolved and transformed. Enterprises now require next-generation software testing tools that are easier to use and more efficient in agile environments.

These modern test management tools offer a plethora of features that boost productivity, early detection of errors, and cross-functional collaboration with transparency—all of which contribute to higher quality.

Customer-centric organizations are making deliberate efforts and strategic changes to embrace digital transformation, which necessitates a comprehensive approach based on sound planning and a solid foundation. Thus, it is critical to understand how agile tools and techniques are used in testing, as well as their advantages and best practices.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. Know the three key practices to determine if/when/how you should delegate a task
2. Next generation test management capabilities
3. Addressing organizations’ high quality expectations
4. Effective management of manual and automated test strategies

Companies across all industries are putting personalization at the center of their enterprise strategies. Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase, Starbucks, and Nike, to name a few, have put personalized and seamless omnichannel experiences at the core of their corporate strategy. It’s no surprise, since personalization initiatives are driving significant increases in revenue.

Businesses focused on personalization are deriving competitive advantages from their ability to capture, analyze, and utilize customer data at scale, and from using AI to understand, shape, customize, and optimize the customer journey.

On Thursday, April 6, in a live, interactive HBR webinar, David C. Edelman (LinkedIn profile) of Harvard Business School and Mark Abraham (LinkedIn profile) of Boston Consulting Group will present how leading companies are using “intelligent experience engines” to assemble high-quality customer experiences using AI powered by customer data.

They will discuss:

• What an intelligent experience engine is and how to build one
• How an intelligent experience engine can drive a personalized custom experience
• Common impediments to personalization
• How AI insights can be used to develop integrated marketing strategies
• How challengers can use AI to catch up to digital giants

Most C-suite leaders claim to recognize the importance of the customer experience. But there is often more talk than action. Companies need an explicit strategy for building an intelligent experience engine.

To learn how your organization can improve its customer experience in the age of AI, join this session.

More than 50% of CIOs do not meet expectations for digital business because they fail to deliver desired business capabilities or achieve business outcomes, according to a Gartner survey.

Too many CIOs do not have a firm understanding of their team’s actual execution capabilities. As uncertain times unfold, how can CIOs get objective feedback on digital execution?

Many CIOs and technology executives aim to reorganise around products or integrate business and IT resources into a new organisational model and operating structures based on product definitions (or value streams, fusion teams, or business capabilities).

You will get key lessons for success and identify pitfalls to avoid.

What could go wrong? Everything or nothing, as this session vividly demonstrates through a creative combination of comedic act and presentation analysis.

The presentation gets off to a rocky start when the presenter—former Disney leader Lenn Millbower—is locked out of the room and his not-very-good brother Les takes over.

Calamity follows calamity as Les communicates ineffectively, turns easy-to-comprehend information into complicated mush, displays hideous slides, and blows up the laptop.

The comedic segment ends as Les runs from the platform in total disarray. Lenn then takes over and, with the participant’s help, discusses what can go wrong in a presentation and how to prepare for the worst.

Join lEN if you missed this fun presentation at Training 2023 or just want to experience it again.

Attendees will:

• Identify the common presentation mistakes so that you can avoid them
• Explore the critical steps in a presentation that lead to a successful delivery
• Examine a seven-step preparation model, so you maintain your professionalism, even in the most trying circumstances
