QA is everyone's responsibility - Columbus, United States
happened 8 years ago
Organised by TechLife Columbus
Who is responsible for QA on an Agile team? The answer is ?Everybody?. And yet this is rarely the case. Often the Testers write their test cases and automation in isolation and execute them after development is finished. Developers write their code without talking to the testers except to understand how to reproduce the latest discovered defect. Product Owners elaborate requirements in isolation and then hand them off to the team only to check back at the end of the sprint.

Fremont Agile Meetup - Seattle, United States
happened 8 years ago
Organised by Fremont Agile Meetup
Scrum sometimes does not seem to cater to specialized resources very effectively. For example, in major organizations, there is often a shared community of expert resources such as architects, usability engineers, QA, the performance and scalability team, who serve many project teams. These resources have to be committed well in advance and have specific deliverables, which also becomes an additional dependency to track.

No Shortcuts: Going Better to Go Fast - Austin, United States
happened 8 years ago
Organised by Lean Software Austin
We've been swept up in Agile Development methods that tell us to decrease the time-to-feedback. This advice was given in the late-90's when time-to-feedback was unnaturally-lengthy. But the goal isn't to just continue reducing time-to-feedback ad infinitum. Otherwise, we'd drive ourselves past the tipping point where shorter-than-natural feedback cycles would be as detrimental as the lengthy feedback cycles of old. Yes, feedback loops can be too small just as they can be too lengthy.
