Transition from Testing to Leadership
9:15 - 10:15 Great Hall 3
Interactive, engaging discussion on how you can advance your career by moving from the typical thinking of a software tester to the broad perspective of improving quality - the big “Q”uality. We'll talk about technical skills and knowledge, as well as “often harder to learn” soft skills that will separate you from others and start you on the path to being a great leader. Whether your goal is to stay technical or move into management, these leadership skills will set you up for success.
Join us for a joint presentation with DHL and discover:
1. How improving “Q”uality can improve your team, your career and your company
2. DHL Supply Chain's unique perspective on growing leaders in their organization
