Cynic - The missing role in an agile team

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Feedback form is now closed.
We realized that our team was focusing mostly on building the product correctly and a very less or in most of the cases no emphasis was laid out on building the correct product.
We then altered our QE strategy into a three role approach called Primary Secondary and Cynic.
And a Cynic is a someone who shields himself from the project related discussions and based on 'lack of proximity' to the developers, he/she can be very blunt while providing feedback. Is closer to the end user.
Works with a mindset of 'guilty until proven innocent '.

Max attendees : Does not matter
Resources required : Projector, slide deck
Expected outcomes : Guide agile teams to introduce a new role in development process to ensure quality of the product while having minimum intervention and maximum impact.
