Oktober, 2011, Objektspektrum: Qualitätsmanagment in der agilen Entwicklung – QM muss sich neu positionieren
Dr. Andreas Birk and Gerald Heller published the article in the online special edition of Objektspektrum, the German magazine of software engineering. They argue for a renewed QM positioning in the agile context. The simple approach where QM is entirely integrated into development doesn’t work out in complex, large scale development contexts. They show how QM can establish a new relationship with development in agile environments.
