Year after year, Version One’s State of Agile survey reports that a top-three barrier to agile adoption inside organizations is “inadequate management support and sponsorship”.

What is behind this reported conflict between management and agile adoption? And what can we as managers do to get past the supposed misalignment between managing teams and practicing agile?

In this webinar Klaus Boedker (LinkedIn profile) explores the roots of the management discipline as we know it today.

Klaus pinpoints the potential areas of conflict between agile values and traditional management. Then he turns that upside-down and look for areas where managers can support and drive forward the organizational adoption of agile leveraging the Disciplined Agile tool kit.

Sometimes Excel, as a test management tool, seems to be the most cost-effective and simplest solution for your needs.

However, what happens when you have many environments to test against and the test case needs to be updated? How do you keep up with the ever-expanding number of environments to test while keeping the simplicity of Excel?

Join this session to learn how to streamline and optimize testing coverage while quickly executing tests both manually and via auto testing tools.

Dr. Tieren Zhou, Ph.D (LinkedIn profile) will provide models to achieve complete testing coverage with expansive numbers of environmental variables and permutations thereof.

Tieren will introduce two models in defining a test release coverage plan: Permutation vs. Street. With the permutation model, test cases can be defined and tested against a set of environmental variables where selected choices for the variables are permutated.

Tieren will also explain the value of the multidimensional street model. It is used for extreme flexibility and ease of operation, but unlike Excel, it is scalable and won’t require much maintenance.

Learn how TechExcel can assist you in building a foundation for more efficient, sustainable, and scalable testing by:

1. Organizing test assets in a centralized location
2. Reusing test assets for unlimited variations and combinations of environments
3. Standardizing processes for planning release and cycles to ensure product quality
4. Running metrics to not only measure product quality but quality prediction

CFOs express concern that their current strategy of passing along inflation through pricing may not continue to work.

This is due to weakening global growth forecasts, persistent supply chain pressures, pandemic-related lockdowns in China, and continued talent shortages. In fact, according to a Gartner survey, 74% of CFOs cite lower profitability as the biggest risk that organisations face from input price inflation.

Naturally, CFOs look toward cost containment and reallocating spend to help improve profitability in the back half of 2022. At the same time, 94% of CFOs have greater ambitions for digital growth, and 92% plan to spend more on digital this year.

Driving digital acceleration while enhancing near-term profitability is no easy task.

In this finance webinar, Gartner experts Melanie O’Brien (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Team Manager; & Michelle Carlsen (LinkedIn profile) Gartner director analyst reveal seven mistakes CFOs should avoid when managing profitability in this environment. Plus, you will get frameworks for how to segment costs in a way that will differentiate your performance in the coming quarters and years.

Discussion Topics:

• Discover how to drive digital acceleration while enhancing near-term profitability
• Identify the seven mistakes to avoid when managing profitability in today’s environment
• Get frameworks that can help you segment costs to differentiate your performance
