Lean Coffee at #AgileTD

At Agile Testing Days I was lucky enough to attend all 3 days of Lean Coffee – hosted by Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory. I love Lean Coffees as they are only an hour, I usually get to meet some nice people and the topics are interesting. I also have a short attention span so listening to a topic for 8 minutes keeps my attention.

Day 1

Here are some of the topics we chatted about over the 3 sessions and my sketch notes of the sessions:

  • How do you motivate agile teams to test?
  • Do testers want to code?
  • How do you retain info from a conference?
  • Test Consultancy – a great idea if you have a shortage of testers
