If that dashboard looks a bit familiar, that's because it's based on James Bach's Low Tech Testing Dashboard. I should also give a shout out to Ken Petty for laying down some of the formatting on the area tabs. Clearly there are other shout outs for the slides: Bach, Bach, Bolton, Kaner, Kohl, and an army of others... Both presentations contain a nice collection of references for additional reading at the end. 

From the interview: 

Up front we say, “We're going to drop a big rock in your pond and it’s going to have a lot of ripple effects. With each one of those ripples, we're going to have to make a tweak or process change, and that’s going to take time.” We typically sell it with the idea that we're going to come in and make a big impact day one, but you're going to be fine-tuning these changes over a three to four-month period. It still takes time, just like any other process improvement.
