Lead The Way

To better understand PMI’s Talent Triangle, this session looks at project management through the lens of the Leadership portion of the Triangle.

Plans are useless without effective execution. The role of the project manager is often viewed as a very technical role; tracking progress, measuring costs and filing reports.

TidalShift will look at how the role of the PM is actually a leadership role at its core and what leadership skills can be brought to bear that will not only make your project more successful, but make the job more enjoyable. Talent Triangle – Leadership

With the explosion of DevOps and a rise in app abandonment, today’s testing teams are under more pressure than ever to keep up with speed and quality expectations of a completely digital organization.

Now, testers are not only responsible for identifying bugs in an app, but also the speed at which you can deploy and, more importantly, the perception end users have of your product.

  1. The good news: DevOps will only get faster.
  2. The bad news:   DevOps​ will only get faster​.

That said, do you want testers drained from trying to keep pace with a DevOps methodology that doesn’t provide them the tools to excel?

How an organization prepares for this transformation will define the future of quality to their brand and company. AI and ML is only as good as the real people behind it. Only the most prepared organizations can harness the unfair quality advantages provided by AI and ML.

  • Where does AI and ML go from here?
  • Job displacement or job enablement?
  • Human intuition or human interference?

The answer lies in management’s philosophy on the value of human capital.

In this web seminar you’ll hear merits from both arguments but be forced to make the decision yourself.

Learn:

  1. What the future holds for AI in testing
  2. If testers should fear job displacement
  3. How to enable testers with AI
  4. Tools for the future of test automation

Presenters:

Joe Colantonio (LinkedIn profile) Founder of Test Talks Podcast & Guild Conferences Author, speaker, and test automation architect at a Fortune 100 company

Mush Honda (LinkedIn profile) VP of Testing at KMS Technology Former Nexidia, E&Y, and Majeco industry leader with over 15 years of experience

Frank Moyer (LinkedIn profile) CTO at Kobiton Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Georgia Tech’s ATDC and former President/CEO of GeoIQ

Live Webinar August 8th, 2018, 10:00 am – 11:00 am  EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
Provider: Gartner Webinars

Just a small percent of workers in the US and UK want an artificial intelligence (AI) system as their co-worker or manager.

What the workforce actually desires is for AI to be their helper: to make them look smarter and allow time for interesting tasks.

They don’t want to work for AI; they want AI to work for them.

As coding gives way to AI training, IT is set to become the HR department for robots.

What would a “robot resources” department do and how would that differ from the way IT normally evaluates, configure, and deploys technology?

In this webinar, Craig Roth (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research VP will explore how to position AI, robots, and automation as helpers. We envision a center of excellence modeled on HR that treats them as new employees rather than interlopers stealing jobs.

Discussion Topics:

  • Ways workers want AI incorporated into their jobs
  • IT as “HR for robots”: recruiting, training, and onboarding robots
  • How to position AI, robots, and automation to encourage adoption and engagement from workers
