Increase Organizational Learning and Business Agility with Strategic Goal Setting and Innovation in your Testing Program
Agility testing is something historically associated with sports, and is used to measure the 'sprint forward, move laterally, and backpedal' (1999) capabilities of an athlete. Similarly, when we think about increasing our testing agility as an organization, it is important to ensure we have a strategy which allows us to continuously innovate and improve. Understanding the foundational elements which are needed, what to measure, and how to tell the story of the relentless improvement of your test program is crucial. Creating transparency to all the risk reduction activities your testing team engages in, along with the progress and impact, is critical for influencing both organizational intelligence and business agility.
