Stop Test Sprints! Develop a CLEAR Agile Product Roadmap

Test sprints in an Agile environment are a certain indication that testing is being held out of the equation as almost unimportant. It shows we are not slicing the product well and waiting too long before our testers have the ability to help us see where we need to adjust and fine tune. It often includes bulky hand-offs and slow environment swaps. By using the CLEAR (Collaborative, Lean, Evolving, Adaptive, Reportable) principles of Product Development, testing professionals have found themselves back in the direct line of development in iterative and valuable testing practices. This session is designed to show how they are applied, where they have been successful in real life scenarios, and what testers at any level can do to promote the CLEAR approach starting tomorrow.
