The Use Of An Award Winning Teaching Case Study

The case study on resolving agency issues in client-contractor relationships was the winner of the 2019 DSI PMI Instructional Case Writing Competition.

Dr Christine Unterhitzenberger (the author) will present some theoretical background on the use of case studies in teaching and then introduce the case study itself and outline its potential use in online settings.

The case study focuses on the management of relationships which has been acknowledged as a crucial element of project success.

However, agency related issues such as goal conflict, information asymmetry or opportunistic behavior can make relationship management a real challenge.

The program managers for One Global Headquarters at Merck developed their own way on how to deal with this challenge in a complex and uncertain environment. This case study will provide unique insights into their approach and motivation.

There is no place where the aphorism, “time is money” rings more true than in the fast moving world of finance. Hear how Tide, a business banking platform and one of the first digital-only finance platforms for small businesses in the UK, transformed their digital testing strategy to test faster and with better coverage.

Faced with little to no test automation coverage, and having to execute tests on the local devices, Tide knew there was a better way. Thanks to parallel execution, cloud infrastructure, end-to-end testing support and the close collaboration with the development team, Tide was able to vastly accelerate their smoke and regression testing, extend test coverage, and release high-quality, reliable apps to their members.

Join this webinar to hear from Tide’s Senior QA Engineer of Automation, Kumar Ashok, alongside Perfecto’s Solutions Engineer Julius Mong and learn how Tide’s testing transformation was accomplished. Kumar & Julius will cover how in just 6 months, Tide turned a 4-hour process of manual testing into only 12 minutes of automated testing.

Attend this webinar to learn:

• How Tide extended test automation coverage for web and mobile apps.
• How they accelerated smoke and regression testing from hours to minutes.
• See a live demo of parallel execution in the cloud.
• How a cloud solution helped them work seamlessly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Presenters:

Kumar Ashok (LinkedIn profile) Senior QA Engineer of Automation Tide is a multi-role software test automation enthusiast with more than 15+ years of technology experience. He is a collaborative professional with expertise in test automation and associated tools & practices. A productivity maximiser, he thrives on bringing better efficiencies in the overall software development lifecycle by the means of automation in different phases of development.
