Preparing For Projects In A Post-Pandemic World
Webinar Series

In ‘normal’ times this requires a focus on:

1. Objectives
   • What matters the most?
2. Disruptions
   • What is happening now?
3. Emergent trends
   • What does the available data suggest?
   • What influences are there?
   • What we see, hear, believe, miss or reject?
4. Change
   • What situations are ‘unfrozen’
   • Where do we have a choice to do things differently?

But these are far from normal times.

The potential in each one of us as individuals, and the potential in the groups and organisations that we are part of is huge – a massive energy waiting to be unleashed.

What will we do with that energy?

The webinar will explore economic potential, e-working potential, environmental potential and emotional potential.  Ruth make the session as interactive as she can, using the capabilities of the Mentimeter App to get your views on the ideas shared in real time and making sure your questions and challenges are addressed.

Through this process we can create something useful for us all as we step out to shape the best possible ‘new normal’.

Too often, and even in this day and age, quality is still an afterthought.

Erika Chestnut  (LinkedIn profile) Senior QA Manager Calendly will share how she convinced her organization to think differently about quality, and the steps she took to transform QA from a review step into a significant source of value that has led to faster, higher-quality releases that are focused on improving the customer experience.

You will learn:

• How you can convince your teams to think about quality throughout the entire lifecycle of the product, from concept to development to delivery and beyond

• How to improve collaboration with developers to create better test strategies that accelerate feedback loops and ensure alignment with defined requirements
