LIVE Webinar: Profiles in Failure Wednesday, April 24, 11:00am - 12:00pm*
Location: Nautilus 5
|
 |
Hosted by Rex Black. You can often learn a lot more from a failed project than you can from one that succeeds. So, in this free webinar, Rex offers detailed case studies of three projects that failed—even though they could have succeeded. Each project was very different, but common themes emerge: earlier testing, better quality throughout the project, tighter collaboration between testers and other stakeholders, and better vendor quality management. Rex will discuss how to you can learn the lessons that could have saved these projects so you can avoid being a profile in failure on your next project.
