Power Onboarding
Power Onboarding provides practical, easy-to-use tools to guide an individual who is transitioning to a new job. Students will prepare an actionable personal onboarding plan that will set them up for success in their new role. Research has shown that an actively followed power onboarding plan will allow an individual to reach proficiency in a new position up to 30% faster than the typical transitioning manager. In this course, students will develop their own onboarding plan, allowing them to contribute sooner and be eligible for promotion earlier. In this newly revised format, learners can complete the course in no more than 7 hours, with approximately 2 hours dedicated to creating a personalized power onboarding plan. We have a suggested 4 week schedule to help you stay on track, but we recognize that everyone has different learning styles so we've added flexibility so you can complete the entire course in one or two sittings. This course has benefited tremendously from the feedback and advice we have received since the launch in the Fall of 2014. A recent survey shows: 1) 67% of participants are very likely to recommend the course to a friend, and the remaining 33% being somewhat likely 2) 80% of participants found the workload the same or lower than what they expected. We are enthusiastic about these findings and we know that you will find this course valuable and worthwhile as well!

QA Process Optimization: Agile & Automated Testing
Quality has been a thorny issue for the software development industry. From early programs to modern applications, software has always been prone to bugs- defects that shouldn’t be there yet often make their way into production, diminishing user experience and frustrating developers. Ensuring that the final product works as expected is the core responsibility of QA practices and processes. However, this is easier said than done. The QA function is often misunderstood and forgotten, especially in agile environment where principles like “progress over perfection” and “fail fast to learn fast” made practitioners shift their focus away from thoughtful quality management. Managing quality is not about eliminating every bug and issue. It may not even be possible. Instead, it’s about building software development processes that are able to deliver the expected results which the team commits to. Predictability, as a key measure of quality, allows teams to adjust their throughput by consciously deciding on the acceptable quality levels for their final products. In this course, we will explore how to design and structure an effective quality process in the modern agile team through collaboration and automation. We will look at tools and techniques that work; and combine them with meaningful measures, which will allow us not only position QA function appropriately within the agile delivery process but also improve and fine-tune it over time This course is designed for professionals involved in ensuring software quality within agile environments. It is ideal for software testers, quality engineers, developers, scrum masters, agile coaches, and team managers who are engaged in or responsible for agile development processes. Whether you’re directly testing code or guiding agile delivery practices, this course equips you with the tools and strategies to elevate quality assurance in your team. To fully benefit from this course, learners should have a foundational understanding of the software development lifecycle, software testing principles, and agile methodologies. Prior exposure to agile project environments will help contextualize the QA concepts presented and allow for easier application of best practices in real-world scenarios. By the end of the course, learners will be able to clearly define the role of QA in agile development and integrate quality practices from the earliest stages of the software lifecycle. They’ll learn to scope effective automation strategies and use data insights to continuously refine the QA process. These skills will help teams deliver higher-quality software with greater predictability and alignment to user expectations.
