Topic:
Company’s certainly love the idea of Shifting Left and folks in the Testing community love it, too. Getting it in place is another story altogether. When Testing teams traditionally come from a space at or near the end of the Software Development Lifecycle, how do you push those cultural changes left? How do you influence leaders in organizations to adopt potentially new or modified processes to build a shared ownership of quality?
I want to go over my experience in start-ups, consultancies and enterprise organizations at how you Lead From Quality. Techniques that have worked, that haven’t and ways to try and speak the language of Sales, Product and Engineering to evangelize good quality-focused initiatives.
