Businesses today expect high-quality software to be delivered quickly. They have implemented Agile to respond to rapidly changing requirements and DevOps to meet the demand for speed.

The Agile manifesto emphasizes reducing delivery time and creating working software as the primary measure of progress. DevOps, on the other hand, is the most logical extension of Agile’s goals of increased collaboration, shorter feedback cycles, and broken silos.

Without “continuous testing,” the “Agile and DevOps” approach to digital transformation is incomplete, inefficient, and ineffective. Businesses rely on continuous testing to drive digital transformation by implementing DevOps, enabling automation, and embracing the cloud.

Once continuous testing is well aligned with the SDLC, teams can achieve a consistent and long-term development pace.

Over time, software testing processes have evolved and transformed. Enterprises now require next-generation software testing tools that are easier to use and more efficient in agile environments.

These modern test management tools offer a plethora of features that boost productivity, early detection of errors, and cross-functional collaboration with transparency—all of which contribute to higher quality.

Customer-centric organizations are making deliberate efforts and strategic changes to embrace digital transformation, which necessitates a comprehensive approach based on sound planning and a solid foundation. Thus, it is critical to understand how agile tools and techniques are used in testing, as well as their advantages and best practices.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. Know the three key practices to determine if/when/how you should delegate a task
2. Next generation test management capabilities
3. Addressing organizations’ high quality expectations
4. Effective management of manual and automated test strategies

Companies across all industries are putting personalization at the center of their enterprise strategies. Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase, Starbucks, and Nike, to name a few, have put personalized and seamless omnichannel experiences at the core of their corporate strategy. It’s no surprise, since personalization initiatives are driving significant increases in revenue.

Businesses focused on personalization are deriving competitive advantages from their ability to capture, analyze, and utilize customer data at scale, and from using AI to understand, shape, customize, and optimize the customer journey.

On Thursday, April 6, in a live, interactive HBR webinar, David C. Edelman (LinkedIn profile) of Harvard Business School and Mark Abraham (LinkedIn profile) of Boston Consulting Group will present how leading companies are using “intelligent experience engines” to assemble high-quality customer experiences using AI powered by customer data.

They will discuss:

• What an intelligent experience engine is and how to build one
• How an intelligent experience engine can drive a personalized custom experience
• Common impediments to personalization
• How AI insights can be used to develop integrated marketing strategies
• How challengers can use AI to catch up to digital giants

Most C-suite leaders claim to recognize the importance of the customer experience. But there is often more talk than action. Companies need an explicit strategy for building an intelligent experience engine.

To learn how your organization can improve its customer experience in the age of AI, join this session.

Many CIOs and technology executives aim to reorganise around products or integrate business and IT resources into a new organisational model and operating structures based on product definitions (or value streams, fusion teams, or business capabilities).
