by Katja Obring
Katja's presentation delved into the transformative impact of removing the "In Test" column from Agile team boards, a strategy aimed at enhancing team collaboration and efficiency.

By discarding this column, teams were shown to develop a unified responsibility for quality, fostering greater transparency and a mindset geared towards continuous testing. The presentation offered innovative visualization alternatives, such as swimlanes and color-coded cards, to effectively manage testing activities. Furthermore, practical advice was provided on transitioning to this streamlined workflow, emphasizing the importance of team engagement and continuous progress monitoring. This session stood out as a guidepost for Agile teams looking to elevate their performance and productivity.
