Welcome To The New Reality.

Are you facing increased competition, shortened product life cycles, and rapidly changing customer needs and interests?

In order for teams and organizations to succeed within this new reality, it requires that their leaders and employees become more agile.

But, agility is not something organizations can incentivize for coerce. Agility must be unleashed and empowered.

This is easier said than done. What most organizational leaders do not recognize that employees’ agility is driven by an oft-overlooked personal attribute called mindsets.

In this workshop, Ryan Gottfredson (LinkedIn profile) will introduce participants to mindsets and the power they have in driving agility, and help those in attendance learn how to harness the power of mindsets to enhance agility in their teams and organizations.

Learning outcomes:

• Understanding why having an agile workforce is essential for team and organizational success
• Identification of unsuccessful and successful efforts organizations engage in to enhance agility
• Understanding of the power and importance of mindsets in driving agility
• Identification of mindsets essential for enhanced agility
• Identification of personal mindsets through a personal mindset assessment
• Recommendations for how to improve employees’ mindsets to drive higher levels of organizational agility and effectiveness

Archimedes once wrote, “Give me a place to stand, and a lever long enough, and I will move the world.” In Agile, the place to stand is testing, and the lever is test automation.

Are you using all the leverage that lever gives you?

Most organizations are missing some tricks, and not getting the full value of test automation. In this webinar, Rex will survey all the different ways you can—and should—take advantage of test automation as an Agile tester.

The best news: Many of these forms of automation involve tools that won’t cost you a dime! Spend some time learning about some high-ROI, proven best practices to reduce failure costs and increase quality

The Agile Enterprise Is A New Type Of Organization!

A collaboration-based environment where some of the ‘command and control’ roles are not only obsolete but also can be a roadblock for the Agile transformation.

The natural fear of change combined with protecting privileges or the job itself resulted in labelling as ‘Agile’ roles that are not only not defined in any Agile framework but are also the core components of the “waterfall” approach.

An “Agile” PM that manages an “Agile” project team where:

1. The “Agile” BA writes requirements (called now user stories)
2. Then the “Agile” UX specialist designs the user interface
3. Then the “Agile” Architect analyse the “User Story”
   • and assigns it to the “Agile” Developer
4. Who will pass the “increment” to the “Agile” Tester (sometimes wrongly called “Agile” QA engineer)

This not an uncommon “Agile” implementation.

Agile is a new and better way of building products, a radically new approach with a single role responsible for the design, build (including testing) and deployment called “Developer” and one person responsible for requirements definition and prioritisation called “Product Owner”.

This webinar addresses what a real Agile Team should be with real world examples of Agile teams.

(IIST – Rep 4514) – A Rommana ALM Webinar

The success of any project depends on how requirements are being managed, and how changes are being controlled through out the project.

When things get hectic and the schedule slips, it becomes crucial to get back to the customer as soon as possible with some adjustments to functionality being delivered. In fact, it is even more crucial to avoid that schedule slippage in the first place.

Most importantly, it is critical to any project manager or QA manager to provide accurate estimates for each feature to be delivered, with accurate time frame when it will be delivered.

Agile projects also must have better control over increments to make sure specific functionality is delivered at the right time.

In this presentation, Dr. Magdy Hanna will show how Feature-Based Project Management™ adopted by Rommana ALM sets a new standard for managing software projects.

Some of the features that will be discussed in this presentation are:
