Leading Internationally-Distributed Test Teams
Are you employing your offshore test team to its best advantage—gaining the cost savings and test coverage you expected? Unless correct management methodologies are in place, you will lose rather than gain both time and money with internationally-distributed testers. If you are thinking you can go offshore with minimal effort, think again. Distributed test leadership and management issues apply when working with third-party firms, a subsidiary, or even your own employees. Don’t let unrealistic expectations impact your career or your company’s goals. Learn methodologies such as site mirroring, managing Scrum of Scrum meetings, and the value of physical presence. Become aware of labor laws and cultural differences. Ensure the best selection of employees at offshore sites.
