Negotiating the Defect Minefield for a Successful Product Release

Software success is strongly influenced by how you finish a project. For that, a special set of skills is required. Many projects fail in their endgame during testing, not because of the testing itself but because of the late discovery of defects and functional gaps that show the software as not viable. Join Robert Galen as he focuses on a set of high level practices and techniques that will help improve your management and steering within the endgame. Learn about a release framework with the right testing tempo and key milestones. Define formal release criteria and add flexibility and depth to your defect fix-don't fix decisions. As a manager in the difficult release endgame, your behavior and leadership can make the difference between a successful release and perceived failure. Robert’s guidance will increase the odds of successfully delivering your release.
