Is Your QA Team Set Up for Success? Discover some Key Ingredients! Having a high-performing Quality Assurance (QA) team isn't just beneficial; it's essential to business success. But what makes a QA team truly stand out? Is it the skills, the culture, or perhaps the management style? First, let's talk skills. A top-tier QA team requires a blend of technical acumen, critical thinking, and an eye for detail. But beyond the technicalities, soft skills like communication and teamwork play a pivotal role. After all, quality assurance is more than just finding bugs. However, skills alone don't make a team high-performing. The culture within the team—the values, beliefs, and behaviours—sets the stage for success. A culture that promotes continuous learning, collaboration, and open feedback fosters not only innovation but also a sense of belonging and commitment. Management's role? It's crucial. Effective leadership is about articulating a vision, providing clear direction, resources, and support, allowing the QA team to thrive and adapt in an ever-changing landscape. It's about empowering team members, recognizing their efforts, and nurturing their growth. What do you believe is the most critical element in building a high-performing QA team? Skills, culture, or management? Share your experiences and insights below! #QALeadership #TeamBuilding #QualityAssurance

Leading a High Performing QA Team- Allow Nkechi to shine!!!. As a QA manager managing managers and supervisors it is important that you make your team succeed because you are also being accessed by the quality of decisions coming from your team members. One secret I will let you know today is if you involve your team in your decision making, getting their views, make them feel important genuinely and giving them the needed credit when they deserve it and also showcasing them to other people for a task or project well done. There is a chain reaction that is triggered as they will own the process, work for you with their heart, work and walk with you during the blue days.... In leading a high performing team you need to spot out talents...Who is good at what and assign projects with an agreed timeline for delivery and begin to coach and guide them. When you do this you are raising the confidence level of your team and building the next generation of potential QA managers to take up your role as you will not be there forever 😉 (hahahahahaha) read my previous posts on why . Do not lead with fear that your subordinate will take your job. It should be a thing of pride that someone you mentored is stepping into your shoes based on your recommendation, coaching and visibility given to your team members in the presence of management. One trick that works well is do not forget to use the opportunity to make your high performing team members visible to top management when they come around your department or the manufacturing area..Tell top management that this is Nkechi a quality supervisor she was responsible for the incremental gains we had in complaints reduction through a project she led to troubleshoot and eliminate the Big red number - Consumer complaints... also that is Adamu highly dedicated and hardworking. He developed the HACCP plan for the new product line and risk assess that all criteria are met with superp delivery based on agreed timeliness when you showcase your team and recognise them openly and give them the credit there is a high probability that you will succeed in that role and their loyalty will be on a high. So as a QA manager start giving your team members credit for their hardworking and do not go the meeting room taking all the credit.Somehow management will figure out who is doing the job anyways, so it is better you are perceived as a coach with outstanding team members because in all it is a Win for you as you are seen as someone able to lead and manage a team while your team members do more as they also get a sense of fulfilment for their hardwork being recognised. I charge you today to choose this strategy and see a change in the work rate, loyalty and performance of your team. remember to always give Nkechi a credit for her work openly it works like magic... Hey! It is what it is.... author - Osagie iboi MSc

Excited to share that I've successfully completed the Quality Assurance (QA) - Techniques and Methodologies course from Alison! 👩🎓🎓 This course has equipped me with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in QA practices, methodologies, and techniques, enhancing my ability to ensure the highest quality in all my projects. #QualityAssurance #QA #ProfessionalDevelopment #ContinuousLearning #AlisonCourses

When I faced my first QA failure, it was more than just a professional challenge; it felt like a personal blow. I had invested so much effort and passion into ensuring quality, and seeing things go wrong was overwhelming. But looking back, that experience was one of the most valuable learning opportunities of my career. Here’s what I learned and how you can navigate your first QA failure: 1. I learned the importance of not just fixing the immediate issue but understanding why it happened. Using tools like Fishbone Diagrams or Five Whys helped me uncover deeper problems and prevent future failures. 2. Quality isn't the responsibility of the QA department alone. I brought in different teams to understand the broader impact and gather diverse perspectives. This collaboration led to innovative solutions I wouldn’t have considered on my own. 3. I made detailed records of what went wrong, why it happened, and how we fixed it. Sharing these insights with my team and the organization fostered a culture of learning and continuous improvement. 4. I revisited our Standard Operating Procedures to see where they fell short. Updating them to reflect new learnings and aligning them with industry best practices was crucial. 5. Organizing targeted training sessions addressed the gaps identified during the failure. Hands-on, practical learning reinforced new procedures and prevented future issues. 6. Implementing metrics to track the effectiveness of corrective actions was key. Regularly reviewing these metrics ensured that improvements were sustained and that we didn’t repeat the same mistakes. Turning my QA failure into a success story was about more than just technical fixes. It was about learning, growing, and building a stronger, more resilient team. Every failure is a stepping stone to greatness. How have you turned setbacks into opportunities for growth? #QAFailure #QualityImprovement #ContinuousLearning
