"Designing Leadership Training in 3D Virtual Worlds"
Designing instructional events for virtual worlds requires new competencies for even the most experienced instructional systems designers. The environments, the courses, and the interactions are limited only by one’s imagination. Practice your emergency response to a virtual bioterrorism in a NY city subway with key players from around the world. Teach a medical student how to stop a heart attack from inside a virtual heart/classroom. Do old instructional design strategies even apply? In this highly interactive game-board session, we will see if Robert Gagné’s classic Nine Events of Instruction apply to 3D virtual worlds.
I dalajláma a Steve Jobs měli své mentory
Jdete za kolegou, protože potřebujete dokončit svůj úkol v termínu a ptáte se ho na radu jak to udělal posledně... Překvapivou odpovědí je vám otázka: „... a jak bys to udělal ty?“ V tu chvíli vám spadne čelist, projedou možné scénáře prošvihnutého projektu a nakonec máte chuť jej zabít...
Tento scénář už asi zažilo hodně z nás. Koučink je výborný nástroj rozvoje potenciálu, ale ne vždy má smysl jej používat. Musí sedět oběma účastníkům a hlavně danému kontextu. Velmi vhodné je proto kombinovat koučování s mentoringem. Ve spleti a modernosti koučů se však na (interní) mentory v našich firmách jaksi zapomnělo. Jak se tedy takový mentor pozná? Jak se liší od kouče? Co a jak by měl dělat? Kde je jejich místo? Jak to nepřehnat?
V aktuálním shonu po mladých talentech, generaci Y a zapojování studentů do pracovního procesu se zapomíná na starší a zkušené pracovníky, kteří by právě zde měli hrát klíčovou roli. Denně mluvím s lidmi povýšenými do manažerské pozice, kteří si v ní neví rady a potřebují právě mentora. Za účelem předávání moudrosti a zkušeností měly naše kmeny a rodiny po tisíce let své stařešiny, vládci a princové svého učitele či rádce, který je zasvětil do tajů života a světa. Dokonce i mladý dalajlama měl svého mentora, který mu přiblížil západní svět, jeho myšlení a učení, což také z dalajlamy udělalo jednoho ze světových lídrů dneška.

This document discusses agile business analysis from a tester's point of view. It highlights that in agile, the roles of business analyst, developer, and tester are blurred and activities are best represented by networks rather than sequential phases. It also discusses opportunities for collaboration, new potential roles that could emerge, and challenges like ensuring business needs are still met. Finally, it emphasizes that professionals in agile need to understand development impacts, know how to navigate organizational networks, and contribute value to the project.

Enterprise Customer Experience by Mitch Lieberman, DRI
The document discusses enterprise customer experience and the importance of listening to customers, engaging with them across physical and digital worlds, and providing experiences that reflect your company's culture. It emphasizes that customer experience results from how customers perceive their interactions with a company, not just what a company designs. Creating a positive customer experience requires coordination across departments along with social media initiatives, digital communication programs, and social CRM that leads to insights about customers.

The Change Up--Can We Achieve Innovation Through Shared Services?
Presentation challenging audience to understand the limitations upon innovation when implementing shared services
Enterprise Customer Experience - DRI
Customer Experience is the superset of sensations, emotions and perceptions felt by your customers before, during and after product or service use. Experiences are created through interactions with things, people and the surroundings. Sharing of experiences happens across both physical and digital worlds, from a smile or a laugh, to a smiley face emoticon. The boundaries between physical and digital are blurring, even merging. Instant feedback, instant photos, instant communications, shared easily, quickly and without hesitation, or forethought. People like to share their experiences with their family, friends, co-workers and in general with the world around them. It is not only possible to capture, understand and learn from all of these digital interactions, but, the future of business just might depend on it and doing so requires planning and execution.
Enterprise Customer Experience represents the people, processes and technology required to listen, guide and engage your customers in the digital world; all towards creating personalized therefore enhanced experiences. Just like the real world, in the digital space, experience cannot be given, but can be designed, enabled and carefully considered. The simple idea is to learn from what is shared, turn it into information, provide insights to people that need it and then actions to be executed, all to further enhance the customer experience. There are a lot of moving parts, including technology as one, along with people and process. The imperative is to start with listening and progress to insights, actions and knowledge.
Each digital interaction creates data, which leads to information that when properly leveraged creates insights. When something is good, can you repeat it, when something is bad, how quickly can it be changed, altered? Each customer interaction is an opportunity to learn and grow. From first Ad impression and Website visit, to product purchase, product use, service interaction, receiving a bill or talking to support, each element has a unique input to, and impact on, customer experience.
The technology, how it is used by people and the process required;
Life after graduation: expecting the unexpected presented
This document summarizes a presentation given by Raja Bavani, Chief Architect at Mindtree. The presentation discusses life after graduation and entering the workforce. It notes that graduates should expect the unexpected, as Raja Bavani's own career journey involved technologies and changes he did not foresee. The presentation emphasizes having both a platform in your career and a purpose beyond just your job. It also highlights challenges in the IT industry like skills gaps and rapid technological changes, but argues these create opportunities for those who stay aware and focused on adapting. The presentation encourages graduates to aim high, master essential skills, and create value rather than just doing what they are told.

Enterprise Customer Experience represents the people, processes and technology required to listen, guide and engage your customers in the digital world; all towards creating personalized therefore enhanced experiences.

Each digital interaction creates data, which leads to information that when properly leveraged creates insights. When something is good, can you repeat it, when something is bad, how quickly can it be changed, altered? The real question is, how do you progress from too much data - an overload condition, to actually using it to enhance the customer experience?
Technology Risk Management Simulation - Mahesh
This document discusses emerging trends in learning and introduces an IT risk simulation game called IT Risk Pro. It notes that MOOCs have good content but lack experience, while flipped classrooms and personalized learning use experience to engage learners better. The document then presents IT Risk Pro as an immersive simulation that provides managers a safe learning environment to play and learn risk management concepts represented as a 2x2 matrix. Key takeaways emphasize using experience to motivate learners and that experiencing is learning, while information alone is less impactful.
Has Gamification Failed? by Marigo Raftopoulos Gamification Europe 2018
My longitudinal study shows that the majority of early adopters and innovators of gamification in business applications are no longer invested. I explore six key areas that are critical for the long term development of gamification as a strategic management tool, and challenge the industry to think systemically and explore new horizons by learning from the emerging convergence of technology, media and the arts.

Turning yourself into a human-centered design coach (euroIA 2012)
My talk from EuroIA 2012 in Rome. Turning yourself into a human-centered design coach.
Shifting from traditional design consultancy to design coaching requires new skills. In this talk, we share some tips & tricks and best practices on coaching clients in human-centered design:
* Managing expectations from the start – have a clear understanding on what can be expected from both parties.
* Knowing the coached team (and its organization) well before you start.
* Organizing design trainings at the start of the project – these will also give the coached team an understanding of what is going to happen.
* Finding a good balance between having the people you coach do the actual work, and doing parts of the work yourself. Not all techniques are equal: some are easier to pass on than others.
* Working with example deliverables from other projects and ready-to-use templates, to make it easier for the coached team to put a technique into practice and get good results quickly.
* Building consensus in the team you are coaching, and avoid getting caught into one of the camps in the team.
By sharing some of our experiences, hopefully we can help you become a better design coach.
Productivity and Onboarding
The webinar discussed best practices for improving workplace productivity and organizational performance. It focused on achieving best-in-class status through strategic onboarding practices that minimize the time for new employees to reach full productivity. Specific strategies discussed included aligning onboarding with the business, standardizing and customizing the onboarding process, measuring outcomes, and investing in applicant tracking and performance management technology.
CIO presentation aug 2012
The document discusses how IT departments are often leading innovation within companies due to their use of structured processes to manage new projects. It outlines a typical 4-step innovation process used by IT - identify problems or opportunities, ideate potential solutions, filter ideas, and implement the highest priority projects. While most companies recognize innovation is important for growth, few have dedicated innovation leaders or processes. The document suggests IT departments can influence the rest of their companies by helping other areas focus on strategic goals, generate and evaluate new ideas, implement projects, and assess their innovation capabilities.

This document provides an introduction to knowledge management. It discusses how knowledge has become a crucial asset for organizations in today's rapidly changing environment. Without effectively managing its knowledge, an organization can experience problems like slow learning, inefficient processes, and the loss of strategic knowledge. Knowledge management aims to optimize an organization's knowledge infrastructure and processes to prevent these issues and keep the organization competitive. It involves developing new knowledge, sharing knowledge across the organization, and combining different knowledge areas.

2022 IPMA Vakdag- Back to Basic v02 - compressed for handout.pptx
The document discusses different phases or "waves" of an Agile transformation within an organization. It describes three waves: 1) teams mastering Agile basics, 2) focusing on cross-team alignment and technical releases, and 3) focusing on business value and performance. Each wave is characterized by typical challenges regarding organizational structure, roles, workflow, collaboration, dependencies and metrics. The model provides insights for organizations on where they are in their Agile journey and what steps they can take to continue progressing.
Keeping the customer satisfied as an agile coach
These are the slides of the presentation I gave at the agile testing days 2021. In this presentation I will explain how as agile coaches can keep our stakeholders satisfied
In my latest book I describe the things that customers want. In order to deliver solutions that create happy customers they should have insight in wat they purchase, they want to have control and be able to adapt their product or subscription, it should be safe and reliable, delivered fast and cheap.
While writing the book it occurred to me that agile coaches have customers also. In this presentation I will explain how these items apply to agile coaching as well and how as agile coaches can keep our stakeholders satisfied.
We’ll discuss coaching agreements, transformational roadmaps as means to provide insight. How we can allow adaptivity in our coaching, What Agile coaches can do provide safety and how e.g., self service can be applied to reduce costs and speed up delivery.
How does this apply in distributed teams and what self-service coaching can we define? But, most of all I will share practices and explain how they can be used to make an impact, deliver value and keep our customer satisfied. Attend this talk when you want to learn some effective practices and gain understanding how they relate to each other. When you want work on the satisfaction of your internal customers.

The document discusses different phases or "waves" of an Agile transformation within an organization. It describes three waves: 1) teams mastering Agile basics, 2) focusing on cross-team alignment and technical releases, and 3) focusing on business value and performance. Each wave is characterized by typical challenges regarding organizational structure, roles, workflow, collaboration, dependencies and metrics. The model provides insights for organizations on where they are in their Agile journey and what steps they can take to continue progressing.
Keeping the customer satisfied as an agile coach
These are the slides of the presentation I gave at the agile testing days 2021. In this presentation I will explain how as agile coaches can keep our stakeholders satisfied
In my latest book I describe the things that customers want. In order to deliver solutions that create happy customers they should have insight in wat they purchase, they want to have control and be able to adapt their product or subscription, it should be safe and reliable, delivered fast and cheap.
While writing the book it occurred to me that agile coaches have customers also. In this presentation I will explain how these items apply to agile coaching as well and how as agile coaches can keep our stakeholders satisfied.
We’ll discuss coaching agreements, transformational roadmaps as means to provide insight. How we can allow adaptivity in our coaching, What Agile coaches can do provide safety and how e.g., self service can be applied to reduce costs and speed up delivery.
How does this apply in distributed teams and what self-service coaching can we define? But, most of all I will share practices and explain how they can be used to make an impact, deliver value and keep our customer satisfied. Attend this talk when you want to learn some effective practices and gain understanding how they relate to each other. When you want work on the satisfaction of your internal customers.
Aginext 2021: Built-in Quality - How agile coaches can contribute
Built-in Quality is key when you want to achieve Business Agility. Yesterday I spoke at the AgiNext Conference in London. In my presentation I explained the importance of Built-in Quality, what is actually is and introduced an approach to implement it. The presentation explains how we can take a validated learning approach to eliminate waste and learn how to improve our development life cycle. I share the suggestions that SAFe makes and give a prioritised overview of quality measures. Throughout the presentation I share my thought on how Agile Coaches can contribute to built quality in.
Agile Business Day 2020 - Refinement - Unlock the full potential of your refi...
Good refinement makes development more predictable, leads to better solutions and enables the Product Owner to set the right priorities. Still many teams fail to unlock the full potential of refinement. Join this session to get practical tips to get more out of your refinement sessions. I have guided many teams during their transition toward Agile. Initially most attention went to the ceremonies and understanding the agile values. Experience taught me that when the team gets up to speed refinement becomes a bottleneck. Crucial because good refinement makes development more predictable, leads to better solutions and enables the Product Owner to set the right priorities. Unfortunately, I see many teams that do not unlock the full potential of refinement. Not only is the time spent on refinement often limited, many of the refinement meetings I join are inefficient. I meet teams that spent half the meeting watching the Product Owner entering the new backlog items in the workflow system. Although they poker the user stories afterwards, little time is left to discussions the best solution and risks that need to be avoided. In this talk I will focus on the following topics • Advantages of good refinement and what I see in daily practise • How we can boost the potential of Refinement by organising it as a process rather than a meeting • Introduction of challenging questions that can be used to prepare your refinement • And last but not least, how you can involve the off-site team members of distributed teams Join this session if you are an Agile Coach of SM and want to help your team(s) to get more out of refinement. If you are a PO and feel a need to boost quality and predictability, or if you are a member of a distributed team and want to involve your fellow team members making better solutions.
Agile Testing Days -the Challenges Ahead
The document discusses challenges that will influence the way testing work is done in the future. It highlights trends like test automation, continuous integration and deployment, changing technical and business knowledge needs, and working in multi-disciplinary teams. The keynote speakers will discuss these challenges and provide guidance on how testers can prepare for them. They will also recommend sessions in the ATD2019 conference program that can help attendees prepare for these challenges and trends.
Test Management in Agile - Agile testing Days 2018
Yesterday Jan Jaap Cannegieter and I gave an amazing tutorial at the Agile testing days. In our full day tutorial we discussed the role of the test manager and how to add value in an agile environment.
We discovered that a test manager is operation at two interfaces. One is being that of a quality ambassador that shows the business and stakeholders how testing is done and how its progressing . On the other interface the test manager is enabling the team(s) to build quality into their deliverables. During this full day tutorial we deep dived on both aspects. We discussed the agile test strategy and investigated what activities we test managers undertake, what activities we find important and what is valued most by our stakeholder. You wouldn’t be surprised if we told you that there is a gap between both. Next we practiced with defining agile test plans at MVP and sprint level. And assessed other roles that test managers can adopt. We closed the full circle by concluding that extra activities might be added to our initial brainstorm results. The topic is truly alive. Not only did we have a full rum (we had an all-time conference record with the amount of attendees), during the day we had a lot of lively discussions and answered a lot of questions from the participants. We loved the participation of all in the room and believe we all had a good day.
Tester’s considerations when moving towards successful CI/CD
These are the slides of the tutorial I gave at QA&Testing in Bilbao on 17 October 2018
Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) empowers organizations to bring their solution in production fast and frequent. This interactive session will share the benefits of this concept and introduce eight conditions that need to be met in order to make CI/CD a success. After this brief introduction, we will make small groups and explore these conditions, exchange experiences and you will get an understanding what needs to be improved in your organization. Talk to your peers and learn where they stand. Of course each of the groups will share their learnings, so we all go home with an understanding of how you can benefit from CI/CD and what needs to be done to make it work.
Finally we will see what test strategy we would advise if our company would decide to move towards CI/CD and this cover we consider much more than just automate our tests…
Keynote: Testing and Quality in the Scaled Agile Framework for Lean Enterpris...
This document summarizes a keynote presentation on testing and quality in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) given by Mette Bruhn-Pedersen and Derk-Jan de Grood. It discusses how SAFe addresses testing and quality, but that more guidance could be provided, especially around roles. It also provides suggestions for defining a quality strategy and embedding quality practices at each level of the framework, from the team to portfolio levels. The presentation emphasizes building quality in from the start and establishing a chief quality officer role.
I am a agile tester, because...(Agile testing put to practice)
On 12 September Andreas Prins and I gave two presentation on the TestNet session night. The theme of the event was: Transforming testing to fit modern development. Andreas identified various rhythms (or wavelengths) in the SDLC and explained the automation that can be done in order to have short lead times and frequent feedback on code quality and delivered value.
My presentation was called “I am an agile tester, because…”. During my talk I discussed what it takes to be an agile tester and I introduced 12 statements that can be used as manifesto for the agile tester. During the presentation 40+ participants filled in the survey and we got a nice impression of how agile our testing is. You can find the results below, and in the slide deck.
Using a recent project I was involved in I put these statements to the test. I explain the test strategy I applied and shared my successes and failures. One of the participants tweeted about the presentation: “A nice war story. The 12 statements trigger me to think about my own role and the role of testing within my project and organization”. I think I succeeded my mission.
I am a agile tester, because...(masterclass at the Barcelona Test Academy)
These are the slides of the masterclass I gave 24-1-2018 at the Barcelona Test Academy. Using a assessment we started a discussion about what it takes to be an agile tester.
Description: Testing has transformed into Agile Testing. Testing has become a responsibilty of the whole development team. Many testers wonder what their role is now that everyone is testing. Some people say that Testing is WHAT we do and Agile is HOW we do it. In order to contribute effectively to quality solutions, agile testers need to combine the WHAT and HOW in their daily approach.
Time for a deep-dive. What defines the agile tester and how do we add value. In this workshop participant will fill ins an self-assessment based on the 12 characteristics of the agile tester. We’ll share the group results and create a snapshot of where we stand. Next, we will discuss each of the characteristics mean to us, how do they make agile testing work, help to boost the agility of the test process and how we can embed quality in the agile development process. In groups we will share examples from the trenches to go along with each of characteristics. What do we do to make it work, and what challenges do we encounter? Participants will help each other and be able to benchmark their own ideas.
This session aligns with the needs that I recognize with many colleagues. They are good testers, work successfully in an agile environment, but want to get better in explaining why they are a good tester. How does their attitude and approach contribute to valuable software solutions? Join this session if you want to improve yourself and want to get practical tips from the real world; If you want to learn what makes your testing agile and how is your agile mindset translated into a valuable testing approach. Participants can use the self-assessment to identify blind spots in their skills. Each of the participants will leave the room with a good understanding of where he/she stands: “I am an agile tester because…”
Agile Testing Days -Trends and future in testing 2017
Today I gave a presentation at the Agile Testing Days. The room was packed and we talked about the way the testing profession in evolving.
5 years ago the Dutch Test Association published a book that described the changes in the testing profession. I was one of the 7 authors and we organized a few workshops on the theme. Last may we hosted a retrospective workshop during which the participants evaluated the 2012 predictions. Key question during this workshop was: What is the status of the profession and what skills and role should a tester take in order to add value and a job.
In my 2017 ATD presentation I shared the results that of this workshop. I shared the highlights of the book, told what predictions were correct and which were incorrect. But most of all I will shared the opinion of or fellow testers: What do roles do they have now, and what roles do they expect to have in 5 years from now.
Join this session if you are sometimes worried about the sustainability of your role, if you want to specialize yourself but wonder what specialisms are a safe bet, if you want to stay ahead of the game and be prepared for the future.
Getting a grip on your test maturity using the ambition chart
Agile test teams access their effectiveness every sprint. The power of retrospectives is that they, when done well, focus on improving in small achievable steps. This ensures that progress is being made and is more than just a far away dream.
Despite the above, I experienced that in and around teams the proposed improvements are measured and valued against the maturity of the agile adoption. I noticed that in several situations people were judging the performance of the team and the proposed improvements against an implicit blueprint; small improvements were fine “for just now” and regarded as a “good first step”. The implication of the above struck me! We all had our own plan and expectations, but these were implicit and not transparent. In reaction I developed the ambition chart. It is a graphical one-pager that gives insight in the current state, the collective ambition and describes the next step to be taken.
The ambition chart can be used to:
Discus and align expectations and ambition that individual team members have and create a team goal.
To break big goals into smaller steps
To prioritize improvement suggestions made in the retrospective
To manage dependencies between different area’s of improvement
To focus on the next step that needs to be taken, without being distracted by the end goal
Manage expectations that management and stakeholders have, e.g. by clarifying that the team does a lot of things very well, but address that it has identified some improvements that are not yet on the agenda.
To visualize progress and tell success stories to the rest of the organization
In this presentation I will explain how to make and use an ambition chart. I will explain situations in which it can be beneficial and share some examples of focus areas.
STRIVING FOR CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION AND DEPLOYMENT
STRIVING FOR CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION AND DEPLOYMENT

This interactive session will share the benefits of this concept and introduce eight conditions that need to be met in order to make CI/CD a success. After this brief introduction, we will make small groups and explore these conditions, exchange experiences and you will get an understanding what needs to be improved in your organization.

Of course each of the groups will share their learnings, so we all go home with an understanding of how you can benefit from CI/CD and what needs to be done to make it work.
Practitest webinar - When a test manager makes a difference
Due to the adoption of Agile, the role of test manager seems redundant. Teams and individual professionals are self-managing and coordinating their own work.
Nevertheless, in some organizations and projects, there is a need for a quality ambassador that understand the agile quality strategy and can help, monitor and ensure that working solutions are delivered.
In this webinar we will explore situations in which you as a test manager can make a difference. For example:
How do we e.g. deal with compliance, integration and final acceptance in a contractor’s context?
How does a test manager coordinate the work over teams and ensures the quality of the testing itself?
Thanks Joel Montvelisky, PractiTest Chief Solution Architect, for hosting my webinar.
EuroSTAR webinar: creating Agile Test Strategies for larger Enterprises
Many organisations are reducing their test managers and Test Competence Centres. Quality is embedded in development. Testing is responsibility of the team. Still testing is on the rebound. In bigger projects and in enterprises an effective test strategy is vital to ensure that the team does the right testing, we focus on integration and we have insight in inter- team dependencies. In this webinar, Derk-Jan will share his experiences as an overall test manager in various projects and define some key ingredients of an Agile Test Strategy.

Getting a grip on your agile maturity using the ambition chart
This document discusses using an Ambition Chart to measure and improve agile maturity over time. The Ambition Chart identifies key maturity areas and allows teams to assess their current status, set incremental goals, and track progress. Examples are provided of Ambition Charts used for testing maturity and Scrum implementation. Guidance is given on identifying areas, dreaming of an ideal future state, defining small steps, using descriptive statements, and focusing on continuous improvement rather than end goals.
Testing fundamentals in a changing world (annotated slides)
Slides of my September SIGIST Keynote.
Description:
With the fast adoption of agile the definition of testing and our test approach changes. When deploying daily, there is no room for manual testing and a test report.
It’s time to get back to our fundamentals. Why do we work the way we do, and what needs do organisations have?
In this Keynote, Derk-Jan de Grood will explore the fundamental assets of the test profession, so we can reshape or test approach and make it work in an Agile context.
Although the daily focus shifts from working in silo’s to collaboration, from execution to coaching, from preparing to doing, the test fundamentals remain in place. In our search we will distinguish unchanged artefacts that we’ll create for a different reason and goals that remain unchanged but will only be achieved if we take a different route.
But bear in mind, not every project is done by using agile methods. Therefore we’ll also explore what concepts
of agile testing can we use to improve our traditional projects.
By understanding what is changed and what not we can adopt our approach, guide our stakeholders and
colleagues in order to align testing with the company goals.
Three key points:
Both agile and traditional projects are changing – testing needs to align
We still need some of the same test fundamentals – but perhaps for a different reason
We still have some of the same test goals – but we’ need to achieve them in different ways.
Survival techniques for Testers-BEYOND THE T-SHAPED TESTER
he T-shaped tester (Rob Lambert, Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory) combines need for general knowledge with advanced test skills to be successful. But testing is a versatile profession and demands are growing. Time to go beyond the T-shape and introduce the π-shaped tester. Extend your global knowledge (development, project management, agile etc) and test skills with yet another specialism to stay in demand, e.g. security, test automation, requirements. In this webinar, Derk-Jan and Jan Jaap report the results of their search for future needs. They explain how we can survive as a tester and what skills and knowledge we need to develop. In their story they include the responses they got from the 100 participants that joined the workshops they gave on this topic.
Key Takeaways:
Become aware of the need to continuously develop yourself
What specialism’s should I adapt to become a better tester
Insights in how to brand your knowledge and let the world know about your specialism
Derk Jan de Grood WebinarDerk-Jan de Grood works for Valori as senior test manager and Agile Transition Coach. His drive is to improve the visibility of testing in both agile and traditional organizations, by sharing his knowledge and experience by means of training, presentations, workshops and publications. He is a regular speaker at conferences like EuroSTAR, wrote several successful books on software testing and publishes articles for the major testing magazines. In 2014 he won the EuroSTAR Testing Excellence Award.
Jan Jaap Cannegieter webinarJan Jaap Cannegieter is a well-known consultant, author, (keynote) speaker and requirements and test specialist form the Netherlands. He has 20 years of experience in ICT and did assignment s in testing, quality assurance, TMMi, CMMI, SPI, Agile and requirements. In testing he was a tester, test manager, test consultant and workshop leader. At this moment Jan Jaap is test/QA-manager and delivery manager at DinamiQs and vice president of SYSQA B.V., a company of 180 employees specialized in requirements, software testing, quality assurance and IT-governance. Within SYSQA Jan Jaap coaches other testers and test managers, is the thought leader and responsible for product development. He is the driving force behind Situational Testing and he wrote several articles and books in the Netherlands.
Integration testing in Scaled agile projects
On 25 May the Software-Centric Systems Conference [SC]2 conference was held on the High-tech campus in Eindhoven. During this event I hosted an interactive session where we investigated the relationship between the lever of integration and the time to market. Most organizations aim for Continues Integration and deployment, since they want to deliver their products fast. It takes a lot from organizations to get there (slide 4). To give an example, CI/CD assumes that you integrate frequently. But at what level do organizations integrate, and how do they test it. The graph on slide 9 shows that increasing the system (e.g. from Units tot Systems) results in less frequent integration, because it becomes harder to test the integration.
Making this clear to management enables to manage expectations or helps to target your next improvements.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
