Putting a SatNav On Your Software Delivery: The Measurement Roadmap as a Business Navigation Device.

When we set out on a journey in the car, many of us engage our Satellite Navigation System (SatNav) as a guide to our final destination.

This tells us how far we are about to go, the route we’ll take and when we’ll arrive.

We’ll use that, in combination with our fuel gauge, to check our progress, time of arrival and cost (fuel).

In this webinar, Allan will discuss how we can apply the same principles at organisational and team levels in order to predict and track software delivery to its business ends.

Join DCG-SMS Managing Director Alan Cameron (DCG bio) for a webinar on how track software like a Satellite.

This presentation is based on the book Design Sprint: A Practical Guidebook for Creating Great Digital Products by Richard Banfield, C. Todd Lombardo, Trace Wax

The Design Sprint is a flexible framework for starting new product design and development work.

The Design Sprint is the first, and for some projects the most significant, phase of a design thinking process. It gets the entire product design and development team on the same page, reduces the risk of downstream mistakes, and generates vision-lead goals for the team to measure their success.

In this webcast, you’ll learn both why and how Design Sprints work and how you can use Design Sprints to enhance your own design process.

• Get an eye-opening approach to the product design process that results in better, faster outcomes
• Learn the design sprint process from start to finish, including essential tools, tips, and best practices
• Learn about successful examples of design sprints from across the industry

Automating user interface (UI) and visual testing is essential in fast-paced agile and mobile app environments—especially when continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) come into the picture.

However, because visual and UI features usually occur last in development, UI and visual testing often become a bottleneck in the development and delivery process.

Help is at hand!

Join this web seminar to learn about technologies, tools, and techniques to automate visual tests in ways that will improve—instead of impede—your dev/test and release workflows.

You will learn:

• How to incorporate automated visual tests into the continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline
• Techniques and tools to increase test coverage, speed, and accuracy
• Tools and methods to decrease manual QA/testing
• Ways to leverage your existing infrastructure to automate test flows
