Elevating testing demands effective measurement to help quality teams understand progress, set goals, and communicate their impact.

But QA is virtually drowning in data; test results, sprint tracking, deferral rates, and bug density can all be gathered in a tester’s regular work. Quality teams need to decipher the right short and long-term signals to ensure their organization can deliver exceptional user experiences and see the maximum ROI from digital transformation.

In this 2 hour workshop, you’ll learn how to assess your current approach to QA key performance indicators (KPIs) and build a path to an effective measurement strategy.

You will understand your maturity compared to other organizations, find the right KPIs to communicate across your team, align those metrics to your organizational goals, and come away with a workbook to manage your measurement strategy moving forward.

Participants will:

• Assess their current measurement maturity
• Understand how to align QA strategy to organizational goals
• Learn strategies to positively influence core QA KPIs
• Takeaway a workbook to help them build on their measurement strategy

Data and analytics leaders recognize there is an inherent need for data-driven business decision making, but linking this demand to specific business benefits and outcomes can be difficult, deterring stakeholder buy-in and support.

According to respondents from the Gartner 2023 CDAO Agenda Survey, only a third of data and analytics functions are effective at showing demonstrable value to their stakeholders (35%) or promoting a data-driven decision style (31%), and only one in four achieved objectives for data monetization (24%).

This makes it challenging enough to successfully define a business case that will achieve executive approval, even without hiding behind vague statements about “better decision making.” CDAOs must provide strong leadership for selling the value of data and analytics to their stakeholders.

In this webinar Alan D. Duncan (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst reveals the six steps data and analytics leaders must take to obtain buy-in from their stakeholders.

Discussion Topics:

• Set a strong vision for the desired end state and business outcomes that stakeholders care about
• Overcome inhibitors preventing progress on data and analytics initiatives
• Take immediate actions that build momentum for the business domains
