New & Old Work: Shaping your Post Pandemic Testing Career

Ryan Volker

12:00-12:45 CEST Wednesday 8th June

Back. Together. Again.

The past 20 months have been a series of transformational events. These transformations are still unfolding and changing our testing and working ways. It is a fascinating and turbulent time.

Learnings from the past 1.5 years requires us to answer a fundamental question: how do we shape a post pandemic testing career? How do we hold onto the things that worked during the pandemic and lean into a new normal? After all, there have been seismic shifts in customer behavior, technology solutions, business models and ways of working. It’s changed everything, especially testing.

Let me help you navigate these changes so you can get fit and properly shape your career.

1. Testing in the hybrid world – It’s old work and new work
2. Accidental agility – Embracing agility with and without IT
3. Big bets on new testing technologies – Follow the investor money
4. Shape your future – a career refresh or a reboot?
5. Testing is not in bad shape. Three reasons for believing in testing.

We are finally back together. Let’s learn together. Let’s shape testing together.

Session Speaker

Ryan Volker

Director Investment Products & B2C Engineering – Targobank, Germany

My experience spans almost 20 years in banking across both sides of the Atlantic. I cut my teeth in U.S. Banking Operations and Online Product Management before launching a first-ever, multi-national testing department for one of the larger banks in Germany. The focus was squarely on identifying and delivering testing strategies for mobile, multi-channel and multi-platform banking products. I spent over a decade leading subject experts to driving technology solutions for sales, operations, and product departments. Through creating an in-house testing department and leading the transition to agile practices during the pandemic, I offer practical advice of success and stumbles from the trenches.
