Topic:

Many teams fall into the trap of setting quality expectations based solely on velocity metrics, often failing to truly assess the detrimental impact of bugs and defects. This session delves into how this illusion of progress, fueled by unaddressed rework and scope creep within sprints, hinders genuine quality and performance.

Discover how AI-empowered, metric-driven technical retrospectives can provide a powerful solution.

We’ll explore common pitfalls in traditional quality metrics and demonstrate how AI tools can assist in detecting hidden patterns and human biases that often lead to rework and escaped defects.

Learn practical strategies for conducting effective technical retrospectives focused on quality. We will discuss practical commands for AI to identify patterns and biases, and to collect metric-data to facilitate deeper insights, trigger targeted action items for continuous improvement, and ultimately move from simply reactive bug fixing approach to a proactive, quality-first approach that truly enhances team performance and delivers quality superior software.
