From Lean Startup to Intrapreneurial Testing – Maaret Pyhäjärvi image
Talk Description

Experiments are tests to learn about your assumptions. In this talk, we look into lessons of a tester helping with relevant experiments in intrapreneurial setting: a startup environment within an established company.

We learn from discussions that take place allowing a thinking tester as far left as possible, before implementation: testing the user experience for features we need, testing the need of features to identify if what is asked for is worth building, and testing the elements of the business model to steer towards customer satisfaction and financial success.

This talk provides thinking tools and ideas for a tester to contribute in the opportunity space, before entering the implementation pipeline. Unleash the entrepreneurial talent of testers to boost innovation!
