People are bad estimators. We all know it and still customers ask "when will it be done".
This talk lists a dozen explanations why estimating doesn't work and how potentially we can solve the more global problem of needing them.
Slides from a presentation given by Georgiana Mannion to a meeting of IIBA UK's North branch on 25 November 2014.
Georgiana explores some of the ways we can align play to lean process improvement and problem identification.
'Happiness As Quality Measurement' by Jeroen de CockTEST Huddle
Professors from around the world discover happiness as new topic for their studies. In the IT world we also hear often that we have to bring happiness to the client, project leader, developers, users, ...In short: quality of life (another description for happiness) has a lot of studies to offer. They are based on psychology, sociology and the world of
medicine.
During our trip through the world of 'quality of life' we try to bring the quality to the software testing life. We learn about our reptilian brain and why it can be stronger than the work of a complete development team. We find out how to translate The Popsicle Index to the testing world. We learn how the 'zero tolerance for digital failure' and '"good enough" technology' go together in the New Normal.Discover how past experiences with an IT application influences our future thoughts and quality view on it.
We also build on 'mindfulness' (which comes from the world of healing of deeply depressed people) because we all feel depressed sometimes in the development lifecycle of a software project. Come with a beginner's mind to this refreshing session about everything you didn't know about quality in real life. So you can implement it in the software testing life!

Organizational Topologies: your roadmap towards an innovative, resilient and adaptive product development organization.
Many organizations struggle to adopt "agile" in a way that delivers on its promise to make the company fast, flexible and efficient.
Global consultancy firms have great pitches on how to adopt different so-called “Agile frameworks”. The marketing is great, but are the results too? We see how our clients get stuck in adopting a framework - forming “agile teams”, appointing “product owners” and then clustering all this into “tribes”. Thus creating robust structures that make further organizational improvements and adaptability difficult, slow, and expensive.
This talk offers ideas how to go beyond these limiting ideas and explores a map of organizational transformation based on orgtopologies.com.
