Some people use the terms “verification” and “validation” interchangeably, but there are significant differences between them.

Some people disparage verification, or deny that it’s even involved in testing.

However, you can’t adequately build confidence and reduce risk in the software you test without using the proper mix of both.

In this webinar, Rex will clarify the meaning of these two terms, give examples, and explain why both are essential to proper software testing.

Identifying risks that are not related to the project is a common mistake, leading to incorrect analysis and poor responses.

The end result is that risk management is frequently adding more waste and inefficiency instead of helping to increase project success rates. In this webinar, Mario Trentim  (LinkedIn profile)  will discuss risk management at the organizational level, at the portfolio level and at the risk level.

As a central learning objective, Mario will help you to understand what project risk management is and what it is not, enabling us to get project risk management right.
