Mary Thorn has had the opportunity in the past twenty years to work at many startups, creating several QA/test departments from scratch. For the past ten years, she has done this in agile software companies. Recently Mary moved from leading small agile test organizations to leading a large agile test organization where she has learned how to lead agile testers and agile testing in large contexts. Mary takes you through what she has learned, identifies the keys to transitioning your test organization as it grows, and discusses the techniques required to lead it through the changes. Agile testing is difficult; training your testers to be consistent and interchangeable across large scale agile teams is even more difficult; and still more difficult is test automation at scale. Join Mary as she shares her experience in creating an automation strategy that works in a large scale context and lessons learned from leading a large agile test organization.
This presentation is intended to provide an overview of various options for off-shoring activities mainly ones from the IT field to India.
It discusses Off-shoring maturity model (OMM) that allows a company to setup and manage the ODC successfully with the help of a competent partner like Sangsoft.

Introductionto Agile Executive Overview Gpi Asia Rev2Benjamin Scherrey
Our training partner, GPIAsia, asked us to produce an executive overview version of our 2-day Introduction to Agile course for an iTAP program intended to introduce Agile concepts to CMMI practitioners. Was an interesting challenge. Should know in a week or two if any of this gets traction from that audience. If it does, I'll take credit. If not - I'll blame my colleague Pam who delivered it with me. :-) As with all my presentations, you really need to hear the talk to get the full benefit but at least you can see the subjects we touch on.
Quality Maintenance is an "advanced" pillar of TPM and aims to assure zero defect conditions. Also known as Hinshitsu Hozen in Japanese, it does this by understanding and controlling the process interactions between the 4Ms - manpower, material, machines and methods that could enable defects to occur. The key is to prevent defects from being produced in the first place, rather than screening them out through inspection systems after they have been produced. Controlling quality through its causes is the essence of Quality Maintenance.
Developed by our JIPM-certified TPM Instructor, this presentation teaches the key concepts, principles and philosophy of Quality Maintenance, the 4M conditions that are essential for defect-free production, as well as the step-by-step process for Quality Maintenance.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the key concepts, principles and philosophy of Quality Maintenance
2. Acquire knowledge on the 4M conditions and the prerequisites for promoting Quality Maintenance
3. Describe the 8-step process of Quality Maintenance and the key analytical tools and techniques
CONTENTS
1. Key Concepts & Philosophy of Quality Maintenance
2. 4M Conditions - The Determinants of Quality
3. The 8 Steps of Quality Maintenance
4. Key Tools & Techniques for Quality Maintenance
5. Towards Excellence in Quality Maintenance
