What Is The Recipe For Successful Project Delivery?

It takes just the right ingredients and the proper amount of time to prepare a successful project, and managing all the cooks in the kitchen is a key part of it as well.

On the flip side, overly complex or unnecessary project management processes waste time, annoy teammates, and clog the works. So, where is the sweet spot?

In this webinar, you will learn how to utilize the key project management processes for project delivery success.

Exploratory testing is a skilled, multidisciplinary style of testing. It treats test design, test execution, and learning as parallel, mutually supportive activities, so testers can find things they don’t know that they don’t know.

Exploratory testing isn’t new, but it has evolved thanks to agile methodologies and test automation.

Being able to self-manage your testing work and your learning—making discovery and reflection a habit—is what differentiates skilled exploratory testing from randomly putting activities together.

Exploratory testing frames thinking around the system and creating artifacts to support testing.

An hour of testing can be completely different in different contexts. With exploratory testing, we make the best possible use of our limited time with intelligent testing that delivers results.

You will learn:

1. What exploratory testing is and how it is done
2. Why you should include exploratory testing in your projects
3. How exploratory testing is conducted in agile environments, and its connection with test automation
4. How to deliver results in limited time with intelligent testing

While there has always been a need to show the value of projects, today, there is even greater pressure to show value in terms that executives appreciate.

Sometimes that pressure comes before an investment is approved. Other times, there is a need to forecast an ROI based on participant perception of program content.

Occasionally, it is important to determine value of a program based on the predictive validity of test data. And, now and then, forecasting ROI on improved proficiency with critical skills is a useful pursuit as it helps demonstrate value in mathematical terms, when those all-important business measures are unavailable.

Forecasting ROI provides an indicator of the potential success of a program. It doesn’t replace the need to demonstrate the actual results. But it is a useful tool and one worth adding to the training evaluation toolbox.

Join Patti Phillips, CEO of ROI Institute, and Katharine Aldana, Learning Design Manager at Verizon as they describe four simple ways to forecast ROI for your programs.

After attending this webinar, you will be able to:

1. Explain the rationale for using ROI on a pre-project basis.
2. Present the forecast in a convincing way to senior executives.
3. Use forecasting as a routine process to secure project approval and build relationships with clients.
