"Shifting Left - Building Quality in - a SAFe Core Principle"

The principle of "shifting left" in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) emphasizes building quality into products from the earliest stages of development. By integrating quality practices throughout the software delivery process—rather than treating testing as a final step—teams can identify and address defects early, reducing costs and improving product reliability. This paper explores how shifting left supports continuous integration, early testing, and cross-functional collaboration within SAFe. It highlights the benefits of this approach, including faster feedback loops, reduced rework, and enhanced product quality, essential for modern agile delivery.

As an internationally experienced IT professional with a Master of Information Sciences (IT), I have successfully identified test requirements, designed and planned test conditions, and configured test environments, including all hardware, software, and data components to meet quality requirements. This also included full responsibility for the success of the test effort as well as the project.

The areas in which I excel the most include IT support; test automation and QA; release management and testing in an Agile SAFe and DevOps environment as well as leading and training teams to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to add value to organizations. I possess specialised skills as a Cutover Release Manager, adept at managing complex transition phases, conducting readiness assessments, coordinating with stakeholders, and ensuring smooth transitions during critical cutover activities.

"Continuous Integration (CI) vs. Continuous Deployment (CD) in Agile Testing: Which One is Better?"

Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are pivotal in Agile testing, but choosing between them can be daunting. This session dives into the strengths of CI for stabilising code quality and the agility of CD for rapid deployment, helping you navigate the best fit for your Agile projects. Join us to uncover insights that balance stability and speed in software development.

I specialize in CX/UX strategy and scalable service design for digital omnichannel platforms, with expertise in customer journey mapping, value proposition creation, and usability testing. I excel in simplifying complexities, translating business insights into growth strategies, and facilitating workshops. Experienced in Agile Scrum collaboration, I drive results through strategic problem-solving and design sprints, with a focus on accessibility and lean methodologies.
