Abstract/Description

Problem Addressed: Teams lack built-in advocacy for technical practices like refactoring, testing, or technical debt management.

In this session, you’ll learn how Agile teams can uphold high-quality standards even without a dedicated QA role. We’ll explore strategies to embed both functional and non-functional testing into Agile sprints, empowering teams to take collective ownership of quality. Key topics include cross-functional testing, automation, and building robust definitions of “done” that cover security, scalability, and data integrity. By the end, you’ll have practical approaches to integrate quality-first practices, ensuring sustainable agility without compromising on speed.

Agile Principles Highlighted: prioritizing technical excellence, fostering collaboration, supporting sustainable development, and embedding continuous improvement.

Additional Resources

Speaker(s) may be willing to present this session at local group meetings and other events.
