Is zero waste approach possible in IT? 9 mudas in software development.

16% of IT projects fail completely, and almost 50% of them have problems with budget, delivery time and changes in requirements. Are these the only losses we identify in the project? How to avoid them? Let’s discuss losses and share the stories of losses from our projects. We invite you to a discussion panel, which will be focused around 9 losses in software development.

By education I am a biomedical engineer, electronics engineer and project manager, a typical full-stack employee. I believe that everyone is able to learn everything, it is enough to want. During my adventure with the IT world I have had the opportunity to work as a tester, business analyst, UX designer and project manager. It seems that it is time to be a programmer. I gained my experience in research and development projects in the field of construction, automotive, medical and smart city. My skills are confirmed by ISTQB, PSM I, PSPO I, IREB certificates. For many years I have been sharing my knowledge as part of industry events. I like to question the status quo and lead a verbal fencing on arguments supported by hard data, for which the teams I work with either like or hate me. As befits a girl from a university of technology, I like beer in the company of strict minds.

There is always something to learn, you never know everything – thanks to this approach we have been able to co-create IT projects and organizations for many years. He believes that it is better to be unpleasant to be inquisitive than to remain silent about uncomfortable ambiguities. He has participated in projects of various scales and technologies as a tester, leader, and also responsible for projects of several dozen people. He tries to be a technological agnosticist, believing that these are only tools. Fascinated with BDD/ATDD/XP/Lean. Throughout his career, he has had the opportunity to, among other things, test, automate tests, perform performance tests, manage a team, train and mentor, support teams and their clients, evaluate organizational and software development processes, and build a satellite. As a co-initiator, he co-founded the Quality Excites conference and founded the local Quality Meetup testing community. Speaker and trainer at many conferences.

His personal mission is to bring programmers, testers and business closer to IT teams, believing that communication and wasting the potential of learning from each other is a bottleneck in IT projects. He is aware of the risk that the best ideas invented by wise people may not be implemented 100%, but he believes that it is worth pursuing some of them.

Outside of work, temporarily a beer gourmet, more than its producer, a percussionist amateur, whose band hung up temporarily, runs with the ball trying to build a house, try to put to sleep a little menace.
