Post Script
I wrote the first draft of this chapter as a tester for ePlan Services Inc. I subsequently accepted an opportunity at Ultimate Software Group. Iâm pleased to report that my experiences thus far with my new team echo my experiences at ePlan.
At the time I joined them, Ultimate had been doing Scrum for four years, and was delivering four production releases per year with 28 (!) Scrum teams. My new team is committed to driving development with tests at the unit and acceptance level. We work hard with the product folks to understand how our clients will use our software. Seeing the process work so similarly to what my team at ePlan did is a huge affirmation.
The common threads are the teamsâ focus on the customersâ needs and on delivering what they want at the right time. Driving the coding with tests and examples helps ensure that our code base will accommodate all future changes. The business has confidence that new software features are delivered on time and continue to produce value.
