[Test Strategy]
Test Strategy Clinics for Product Teams
Four facilitated clinics simulate planning workshops with product, design, and engineering voices in the room. You will practise slicing scenarios by risk, choosing automation boundaries honestly, and publishing summaries that survive leadership scrutiny without overpromising coverage.
Included focus areas
- Risk matrices with customer-impact weighting
- Pyramid sketches tailored to greenfield vs legacy
- Facilitation scripts for stand-downs after incidents
- Templates for go/no-go packets
- Office-hour style reviews of your own roadmap draft
- Language for non-testers about what automation cannot see
- Lightweight metrics that do not gamify the wrong behaviours
Outcomes you can demonstrate
- Deliver a strategy brief for a sample product that passes mentor review
- Run a 45-minute risk workshop using our facilitator checklist
- Identify two coverage gaps you can explain plainly to executives

FAQ
Is this only for leads?
Individual contributors who own planning ceremonies will benefit most; it is not a management credential course.
Materials after the course?
Templates are yours to adapt, but live clinic recordings expire ninety days after the final session.
Limitations?
We do not certify compliance frameworks; legal reviews remain your organisation’s responsibility.
Participant notes
Brought the go/no-go packet to our last launch; PM actually thanked QA first. Unusual and welcome.
Facilitation scripts felt dense on day one, but by clinic three I was riffing with our designer without sounding defensive.
