The relationship between business leadership (aka upper management) and testing teams is a challenging one. These teams often seem at odds in the struggle to deliver both quality and value.

Dee Ann is a Tester. Manuel is a Business Leader.

In this session we will share stories and discuss the dynamics of this often tumultuous relationship. We believe there are a number of common misconceptions and stereotypes that prevent people in these roles from communicating their needs effectively. But this relationship doesn’t have to be so strained.

We will tackle the problems that people in these roles face as they work together. The purpose of this session is to provide ideas for constructive communication, productive deliverables, and an improved understanding of the perspectives of the people in these vibrant and vital roles.
