Question 1

Now Andriy, when we hired an Agile-guru and a QA Manager (2 in 1)!..

… tell us how Agile will improve quality?

Executive Council has set the goal of 3000 Story Points / release

• What would you need to help us achieve this?

• How can we make QA to stop failing this goal – entering more and more bugs?

Question 2

Waiting till end of sprint to add a feature we need?

You should have some Agile tricks?

Question 3

Aren’t developers supposed to write right? Why paying for QE?

Question 4

Do we really need AQA to be Agile?

Question 5

Agile looks to have lots of complicated rules. Can we KISS?

Question 6

Testing brought some low hanging fruits. 850 reported!

Looks like it’s worst release ever.Is next one going to be better?

Question 7

Sometimes when I do something, something crashes.

I wonder why that crash was not found.

Question 8

We don’t want crystal clear quality. We have signed some ass kicking contracts. Our priority is time to market.

What can I do for you to make it happen?

Question 9

- Just finished reading some Retro stuff.- Q: What would you need to do better?

A: “More whiskey”- WTF?
