Jonathan Pearson, Original Software, did a fantastic presentation at the Test Management Forum in London, on Wednesday called: “The Dark Side of Application Quality Management: Ten Black Holes to Avoid For Successful Application Delivery”.
The session was lively and Johnny impressed the crowd with his Obi Wan Kenobi Jedi Knight costume complete with light sabre for pointing at the projector screen and Star Wars sound effects. Johnny had no idea that his impressive presentation would leave its mark and he is now known by friends and colleagues as Johnny Wan Kenobi!
The force was certainly with young Jedi Johnny that day as he pulled in a crowd of 45 people, sharing his wisdom on application quality management, collaboration and avoiding a QA silo. The topic was widely applauded and many were intrigued, (or at least laughing out loud), when he introduced a new hybrid methodology between Vmodel and Agile, called Vagile! One tester present has already blogged about it: http://pedantictester.wordpress.com/2010/07/28/uk-test-managers-forum-28-july-2010/
