In some projects, QA enters only in the final sprint.
– Features are already coded.
– Design decisions are locked.

The role becomes—
– Find bugs under impossible deadlines.
– Patch, patch, patch.

The outcome?
– Stress.
– Missed releases.
– Endless hotfixes.

Lesson:
– QA isn’t the last step.
– QA is a partner from day one.

✔ Testable requirements
✔ Early feedback loops
✔ Shift-left collaboration

👉 When does QA join in your projects—start or finish?
