Software Testing and Risk Management Experts Phil Lew & Moss Drake to Present Workshop at 34th Annual PNSQC

PR Web

Reston, VA (PRWEB) September 29, 2016

XBOSoft CEO Phil Lew and Moss Drake of Dentist Management Corporation join forces at the 34th Annual Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC) to deliver a workshop on Agile software project risk management. The conference will be held October 17-19, 2016, at the World Trade Center Portland in Portland, OR.

One of seven workshops featured in this year's lineup, Lew and Drake's workshop, titled "Managing Uncertainty and Risk in Agile Software Projects," will teach participants how to handle uncertainties and risk when software proves to be unpredictable and complex.

Lew brings his experience in software testing and quality assurance to present a view into non-conventional thinking on risk and uncertainty. In this workshop, Lew will use hands-on methods to teach participants how to determine which uncertainties matter and how to address them through associated software quality assurance and testing processes. Drake will draw on decades of insight into software project risk management to demonstrate how pragmatic practices and Agile techniques can utilize uncertainty for better focused teams and more effective products.

Participants can expect to walk away from the workshop with knowledge on:

  • What to do beyond classic risk identification and prioritization
  • How and when to apply classic risk management techniques to Agile
  • How to differentiate uncertainties from real risks during the software creation process

Register for PNSQC to gain access to Lew and Drake's full-day workshop. For more information on the workshop, visit https://xbosoft.com/event/risk-management-pnsqc-lew-drake/.
