Join us on Thursday July 25th 2024 at CreateFuture’s Leeds HQ for an evening of networking and shared experiences as we bring the Software Engineering Leadership @ WRK series back to Leeds and tackle the topic of Shifting Left to successfully embed testing expertise in modern development teams with Katja Obring, Founding Director at Kato Coaching Ltd.
The aim of the meet-up is to bring the immensely talented Software Engineering community together to support each other with meaningful connections and shared knowledge. Anyone with an interest in the events subject matter is welcome to join us on the night.
Katja’s work has been focused on removing the barriers between testers and developers. This results in fast-moving, high-performing teams who can deliver quality software at speed.
Maybe your organisation has or is going through a digital transformation? Maybe your testers are struggling to find their place in the new landscape? Your development team wants to ship quality code but doesn’t really know how to integrate testing into the SDLC at every stage…
With almost 20 years in software testing, Katja Obring has a unique perspective gained from her diverse background, including a previous career as a chef. She is passionate about collaborative testing practices and has honed her skills at companies like Linden Lab (Second Life), Disney Online, Anaplan, Infinity Works, and Accenture.
Katja empowers teams to shift left through her online courses and 1:1 coaching, while advising engineering managers on effective testing strategies. She is a sought-after speaker at tech conferences and will be sharing her insights and answering your questions on achieving both speed and quality in software delivery.
Please RSVP using the LinkedIn event page, or by emailing [email protected] if preferred.
The evening will start at 6pm with 30 minutes of socialising and introductions, followed by the session run by Katja & friends, before moving onto the social at The Head of Steam for those that want to continue the conversation.
Food and refreshments will be provided on the evening, so please do RSVP.
