    Submission to Plan Melbourne Latrobe City Council Metropolitan Planning Strategy December 2013 Submission to Plan Melbourne – Metropolitan Planning Strategy December 2013 Submission to Plan Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Strategy December 2013 Introduction Latrobe City Council recognises and appreciates the integration of previous comments contained in its March 2013 submission to Melbourne – Let’s Talk about the Future. We again appreciate the opportunity to provide comment to Plan Melbourne – Metropolitan Planning Strategy (the Strategy). Latrobe Regional City is eastern Victoria’s employment hub and Gippsland’s regional capital. The City is currently going through a period of population growth with projections suggesting that the growth will continue in the longer term. In response to these population projections, the Minister for Planning has recently rezoned approximately 800 ha of residential land within the four main towns of Latrobe Regional City. The directions and initiatives set out in the Strategy will be instrumental in ensuring that Latrobe Regional City is acknowledged as being well placed to capture and provide liveable communities for the current and forecasted growth in both the economy and population in the Metropolitan area and Latrobe Regional City. In this context, Council strongly supports the vision of the Strategy , in particular the State of Cities model which will result in improved social, employment and infrastructure linkages between regional and metropolitan Victoria. We are pleased that the objectives of the Strategy align with those of our Council Plan 2013 – 17, including the provision of the best possible facilities, services, advocacy and leadership for Latrobe Regional City, one of Victoria’s four major regional cities.

  • Quality Engineering in Product IT Operating Model – Testing Operating Model 2.0 Mindtree Point of View by Test Advisory Services Product IT Operating Model
    Quality Engineering in Product IT Operating Model – Testing Operating Model 2.0 Mindtree Point of View by Test Advisory services Product IT operating Model With Agile being ubiquitous in Enterprise ITs and finding greater adoption in Businesses, Enterprises are realigning and elevating their IT capabilities to deliver specific business value on top of technology outcomes. This is enabled by two key changes a) Integrated Biz-IT teams aligned to a business outcome/Process or LOB b) engineering mindset. However, they are doing so using “legacy” models for testing. Many organizations moved to centralized testing models. Some setup monolithic T-CoEs. While these generated many benefits, they are not aligned to value streams delivering business outcomes. In the same breath, testing only within the agile squads / sprints is a tactical response and delivers to engineering outcomes. Test operating model 2.0 In large Enterprise IT, that is shifting to this new paradigm, there are three key demands from a QA capability perspective. A) In sprint Developer-Tester who are part of specific business context aligned squads B) Test Engineering capabilities that serve common services for example; common test automation framework, test data management, performance engineering etc. C) QA governance aligned to Business & engineering outcomes. This new model for testing across the enterprise needs to be considered. One that supports the velocity while recognizing that many enterprise applications cross the boundaries of their agile teams, but also leverages common services that can be shared across agile teams, as well as non-agile teams ( capability squads). And also providing a layer of governance to ensure an optimized level of standard processes, tool usage and reporting.
