Qu Zhengping once worked in many global companies such as Didi Chuxing (similar to Uber), Daimler and ThoughtWorks. When working on a large number of software delivery projects, he had served as project manager, test manager, product manager or other major roles.

After working in software industry for over a decade, the author has built up a level of expertise in improving communication between distributed teams, promoting agile collaboration skills between these teams, building QA process and increasing the capability of self-managing teams. Not only being a veteran in software delivery, the author is also a senior consultant favored by traditional IT companies for his remarkable insights into transformation to digitization and agile development.
