Many agile projects take a simplistic approach to “managing” user stories.

In fact, everything we learned in the requirement management discipline has somehow disappeared when user stories are used to describe desired functionality.

If we hope for the agile approach to scale up to help build complex systems and systems of system, then we need to go beyond the simplistic approach.

Very much like requirements in a non-agile project, user stories do not live in a vacuum. If you consider a more disciplined and more flexible agile project, then user stories change over time, they relate to other user stories, they related to test cases, scenarios, acceptance criteria and other project entities.

User stores are reviewed, finalized and approved. Tasks to implement user stories are assigned to team members and both estimated time and actual time to perform these tasks are tracked. Most importantly, progress in performing these tasks is tracked.

In this presentation, Dr Hanna will show how we can preserve much of the discipline we followed in the field of requirement management before agile and user stories ever existed.

The presentation will conclude with a short demo of the award winning Rommana ALM to show how we expect a tool to support a more disciplined approach to managing user stories.

Artificial Intelligence is just starting its introduction into software quality assurance, and is most often, misunderstood in regards to the full capabilities the different kinds of artificial intelligence can bring into your quality strategy.

In this webinar Trevor will be discussing Reinforcement Learning, and its ability to automatically discover features in isolation as well as workflows using more than a single feature in your application under test.

Then, while cycling test data into these features and workflows, Trevor  will thoroughly test the features and workflows with a known, extremely high, test coverage.

After all, if you don’t know what your test coverage is (Note: Test Coverage is NOT the same thing as Code Coverage) then you don’t understand what quality you are assuring.

Trevor will also discuss using hierarchical, weight based, collapsible dendrograms for a visual presentation of the features and workflows possible within an application.

These topics are complex, however, Trevor  will get through them and each person in attendance will gain a working understanding of these concepts with real direction and guidance allowing you to use these methods as part of your quality strategy.

Presenter: Trevor Chandler  (LinkedIn profile) Founder TecStar Consulting & Automation Engineer, has over 150 completed test automation projects across 59 different companies, 13 world’s first’s achievements and 4 patents in artificial intelligence. Trevor solves quality problems using both familiar and new approaches.

The success of any project depends on how requirements are being managed, and how changes are being controlled through out the project.

When things get hectic and the schedule slips, it becomes crucial to get back to the customer as soon as possible with some adjustments to functionality being delivered. In fact, it is even more crucial to avoid that schedule slippage in the first place.

Most importantly, it is critical to any project manager or QA manager to provide accurate estimates for each feature to be delivered, with accurate time frame when it will be delivered.

Agile projects also must have better control over increments to make sure specific functionality is delivered at the right time.

In this presentation, Dr. Magdy Hanna will show how Feature-Based Project Management™ adopted by Rommana ALM sets a new standard for managing software projects.

Some of the features that will be discussed in this presentation are:

This two-hour webinar covers techniques and guidelines for defining the type of requirements needed for inclusion in an RFP for application software.

In order for Project Managers and Business Analysts to evaluate vendors and their software proposals, the business requirements need to be appropriately defined and structured.

• The methods for defining requirements for a software product are different than for custom developed solution.
• The documentation and templates of business requirements is different when they’re being written for vendor selection.
• The level of detail and what included and excluded is critical to a successful vendor assessment.

Learn answers to these issues and more in this valuable webinar.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn an effective approach for collecting requirements for inclusion in an RFP
2. Understand the essential types of requirements to be elicited and included in commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) RFP
3. Learn what should be included and the sufficient level of detail for an RFQ/RFP
4. Learn the best format and templates for writing requirements for a COTS solution

The concept of the Agile Project Manager is almost universally accepted, at least in IT projects; although there is no Agile Project Management Methodology.

Traditional approaches like PMBoK and PRINCE2 had always the capability to use techniques that are part of the Agile delivery: incremental and iterative development, early delivery of increments of the project, multi-functional teams, inspect and adapt, etc.

Most Agile frameworks, like Scrum, were created by and for software development and are challenged when it comes to complex projects where Risk Management, Stakeholder Management, Procurement, and Financial Management skills and knowledge are crucial for a successful delivery.

The role of Project Manager is as important as ever for the success of any initiative defined by scope, time, and budget – otherwise a project.

Agile may or may not be the best delivery approach, but if it is, how is an Agile project different ?

in this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) will answer this question using real life examples from IT and Business projects.
