Our reading recommendations of the week #40 – 2017
These weekly reading and podcast recommandations are focused on storytelling, managing team members, efficient work delegation and finally a list of interesting podcasts to listen to.
The first recommendation is one of Huib Schoots ‘s workshops about Storytelling for test professionals – The page summary is written by Alexander Todorov. I personnally relate the details mentioned to a hobby I have outside of work which I really love because it is fun, very engaging and challenging: improvisation theater.
The two following ones concern team management, not from the sole perspective of testers but from the whole software team. After all, let’s not forget that we are fully part of a team aiming at the same objectives regarding the end customer:
- A serie of 4 consecutive articles on How to improve performance reviews: acting on feedback by Stephen Janaway, previously Head of Technology at Yoox Net-A-Porter group,
- A secret tip for the work delegation to be more efficient from David M. Dye : read his article How to delegate work: one secret to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
Finally, for an alternative to reading, here is a list of podcasts that you can listen to realised by Brian Okken: “Test and code”
Happy readings and listening!
