“The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.” – Rupert Murdoch.
In software engineering, there’s a relentless drive to deliver at a speed that can often compromise quality. As much as we want, there is rarely sufficient time to develop and test in a way that truly allows us to understand the state of quality.
Stephen Covey's "Speed of Trust" concept challenges this notion, suggesting that "Nothing is as fast as the speed of trust." Adrienne Marie Brown cites moving at the speed of trust as one of the core principles of an emergent strategy. Given that our role as quality professionals is building confidence in our products, how can we reflect on these ideas and use them to help build trust in our products within our teams, ourselves, and others? How can we build trust with our stakeholders?
This workshop delves into the critical role of trust in software engineering. Through interactive exercises, participants will explore what it means to have confidence, strategies for building trust within teams and with stakeholders, addressing low-trust scenarios, and fostering a culture of trust. There will be time to discuss what we have learned and build a portfolio of ideas to take back and apply.
