- 4. FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Page 4 Goals for Agile implementation in CSR-Haifa SW Ability to respond to business changes Ability to respond to interrupts 360 visibility Better planning and effort estimation Better program and milestones tracking Increasing of team efficiency Minimize waste Morale/Motivation increasing Improve cross team coordination Continuous improvement of SW Quality we deliver • This goal was identified at the stage of agile training • Most challenging
- 5. FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Page 5 Solution for Quality improvement Problem: Drivers SW group in Haifa does not have QA people. Solution: Quality Trustee (QT). QT is one of the scrum team engineers nominated for one sprint to be in charge of team deliveries quality • Unit tests – review and extension • Code reviews • Validating DoD completion • Root cause analysis • Historical technical debt • Additional benefit: knowledge sharing • Has a special QT hat
