Transforming QA -- From Gatekeepers to Quality Partners
An InformationWeek Vendor Webcast
Many organizations have traditionally considered Business, IT and QA independent entities. This created organizational silos, with QA serving IT and IT serving Business. The result: Business complains about ever increasing IT costs; IT argues that QA is the culprit, since this group adds minimal value and drains resources. Industry gurus have consistently advocated the need for synergy between Business, IT and QA -- especially during tough times. They maintain that greater business value can be gained when these organizations work more closely together. By establishing the right enterprise IT strategy, and blending QA smoothly within IT, many of the operational gaps begin to disappear.
Attend this Webinar and learn:
Ways to assess the current maturity level of your QA organization
How to arrive at desired levels of maturity and function to establish QA synergy with IT and Business
Outsourcing models that can help your organization transition from current maturity levels to desired levels
