From a civil engineering background, I've been managing testers for the last 8 years. Both of those areas are biased towards good requirements, and that is one of my entry points into Scrum. During my time at Mazda, I worked on engineering practices for backlog management. I trained internal POs and developers (i the Scrum sense) in the use of a Mazda specific methodology for backlog management that enabled prioritization as well as different levels of detail of description of the individual requirement. The organisation was gradually shifting to Scrum and XP practices. Some projects were still done sequentially - we were pioneers. At Max Manus A/S, I managed a team of testers in a purely Scrum environment. I witnessed some of the typical shortcomings of Scrum implementations, like separate project and quality departments. In November 2012, I was lucky to get a place on Craig Larman's CSM and CSPO courses in Düsseldorf. I learned more in-depth about great Scrum ideas like PSI each sprint and Lean principles. My professional mission is to promote some of the often forgotten great Scrum ideas, like PSI each sprint and team improvement activities. I would also like to contribute in the areas of test automation, backlog management and test practices.
