Talk Description

The story kick-off is the most important item in the tester's calendar, but too many testers are happy just to be a silent witness in this meeting. With the introduction of Agile, and the continuing development of the testing role, testers who just sit and take notes in these meetings are no longer doing their job.

In this talk we'll be going through the reasons why the tester should be the most vocal person in this meeting - what they should be asking and what they should be telling. We'll then see that being more vocal in this meeting will lead to better quality software, fewer bugs, and quicker development.
