Quand les parties prenantes résistent aux résultats de la QA, il faut transformer cette résistance en opportunité. Dale Carnegie, expert en persuasion, disait : “La meilleure fa?on de gagner une discussion, c’est de l’éviter.” Plut?t que de confronter, engagez un dialogue basé sur les faits : présentez des données tangibles, montrez des exemples concrets de risques détectés et d’impacts potentiels. Utilisez des scénarios utilisateur réels pour illustrer pourquoi ces résultats sont critiques. Proposez des solutions plut?t que des problèmes : montrez que la QA ne freine pas, mais sécurise la réussite. Enfin, assurez une communication continue pour maintenir la transparence et renforcer la confiance.

Winning over stakeholders on QA findings is tough as QA teams are often seen as troublemakers. But below are some tips to win their support: * Use (We) instead of (You) to promote teamwork (e.g. We can solve this). * Share findings clearly, emphasizing the benefits of addressing them for everyone. This makes it easier to understand why changes are needed & encourages support. * Engage them from the start by seeking their input on the findings to help them feel involved & reduce resistance. * Listen to their viewpoints & address their concerns to show respect & open the door for constructive discussion. * Be part of the Solution not just the problem, propose practical solutions & recommendations, then follow up with support.

To convince stakeholders on QA Findings and to strategize way ahead towards more efficient association: - Document Thoroughly all the findings. Prioritize the findings aligning with Project Goals/objectives along with the risk mitigation strategies laid out for stakeholders understanding. Come up with possible solutions too for stakeholders perview. - Quantify the impact of the findings on the process like potential surge on ops cost, resource churn, support costs etc. - Understand the concerns of stakeholders and the reason for the resistence like tight schedules, resource constraints or misunderstandings of QA role/responsibilities. - Prepare for re-prioritization based on goals, de-prioritization of any low severity issues/observations.
