Cast 2017

Have you ever been in a situation where…
•You find a bug but the developer does not listen to what you have to say and ignores you?
•Your stakeholders ask you about the status of the project in spite of you reporting status periodically?
•You give the necessary status updates in standups and your team still cannot understand what you were talking about?
•You are stormed by your project manager when you least expect him and commit to something out of fear or without thinking, then realize that you have made a major mistake, which you will repent for the rest of your life?
•You are handling a remote team outside the country and find it hard to collaborate although you give them all the resources they need for proper communication and status updates?
•You are talking in a team meeting and many of the team members start looking at each other and access their mobile phones and laptops without paying much attention to you?

If you answered YES to any of the questions above, this is a session for you. Based on our real-time experiences, attending other presentations and talking to various software practitioners we identified some of the components/behavioural patterns that would help to address some of the questions above. Solutions are often simple but getting to it is complicated. Come join us as we share our research and experiences pertaining to effective communication for software testers in a corporate world.
