Agile Quality: A Change in Mindset<\/b><\/p>\n

The company of the future will have to satisfy customers and be profitable, innovative and sustainable. The difference with the company of today, is that these challenges will need to be tackled in an environment with rapidly changing requirements from all stakeholders. Digital technology will help us with this but it will also require a new way of working.<\/p>\n

One new way of working is Agile that has become very popular especially in software development. But not all applications are successful and there are often conflicts with compliance requirements, leading to conflicts between development teams and the quality department. The key to handling this challenge is integration of knowledge and change in mindset.<\/p>\n

In this presentation both aspects will be dealt with. Integration means working together in a parallel process, leading to a much faster and better development than the current serial processing can achieve. The change in mindset focusses on \u201cagility\u201d as a human characteristic beyond any system or method. Creating an agile mindset is the biggest challenge for the quality professional of the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
