Fractional Test Leadership

What is Fractional Test Leadership?

The concept of fractional leaders is common for C-level roles and is a popular approach for companies needing a CTO or CFO on a less than full-time basis. But have you considered this for your critical test leadership roles?
Put simply, fractional test leadership offers a cost-effective, and immediate solution for companies that require high-level expert test leadership without the commitment and cost of an in-house employee. It can be short-term, to cover a gap or get a new initiative moving, or longer-term to provide ongoing backup to your team. Our fractional test leadership is therefore a fraction of a full commit.

Would you consider a different approach to leading your test programmes and driving more value?
