I believe that the root cause of most projects, or personal challenges, strongly depends on people’s attitude, or soft skills. Good news: in most cases you have the resources to solve your problem – or at least to make your situation much more comfortable to you. Give yourself 10 minutes to speak out your challenges, I will connect to you.

Tamás Stöckert

Head of Testing, Project Manager, Test manager, Process Improver

Experience: 20 years people management I 15 years project/test management (ISTQB Full Advanced level, ISEB Practitioner, PMP, Certified SCRUM Master & Product Owner) I 10 years of (Test)Process Improvement (TMMi Professional) 

I believe that quality is a question of attitude. Even the best strategy means nothing without a quality minden attitude. As soon as quality gets the same priority as the other three constraints of the classic project management triangle then it can lead to the desired positive change in a team, in a project, or in an organisation. Leading large testing undertakings with 50+ contributors from different line organisations, with different backgrounds from different sites to success, whereby improving the processes as well as the competency of the individuals is the challenge I faced most often in the course of the last 10 years.
