Mike Hrycyk is passionate about quality. Quality in software, quality in requirements and quality in management. The biggest strength Mike brings to any organization is his ability to form the big picture of the entire enterprise in his head. This allows Mike to use this knowledge in figuring out the true requirments of the stakeholder, to better know the factors that will then be required in producing a properly integrated functional design or to know which systems will be impacted so that an appropriate test strategy and plan can be formed. Mike likes to build relationships within an organization to allow communication to become easy, productive and efficient.
