Since July 2006 I was working for Amdocs at T-Mobile in Hatfield as a Test Stream Leader. I was responsible for testing the complete DR (Disaster Recovery) project.

After this milestone I received signoff on time and according to plan for:

New Functionality test (2 weeks, 4 testers).
In parallel with the other testing I managed the interface testing (6 weeks, 2 testers).
I coordinated the development of the test tools (2 weeks, 1 tester offsite).
I was leading the Performance Test to proove the DR solution meets the KPI's agreed with the client (T-Mobile) (8 weeks, 4 testers).

The Business As Usual tests (BAU) are planned after my contract has ended, however I have organized those as well.
I was permanently leading 5 to 6 testers, 2 automation testers and 2 performance testers onsite. During the project I was leading a total of 9/10 people permanent onsite depending on the phase of the project. There were also offsite, remote testers in Israel and India working for the testing stream. I have managed them as virtual teams and have visited them in Israel 3 times.
