The Product-Minded QA

In September, I'm leading a masterclass on influence at MoT, covering what I've experienced as the leader being influenced rather than the person doing the influencing 🤯 In October, I'm giving a talk at MoTaCon on how teams share ownership of quality.

There's a belief that, when I share it, will sometimes make other folks in software tilt their heads at me.

In therapy the other day (reminder: therapy is great and more of us should go 🙂) I had a realization about the three times in my career I left a job without another one lined up.

I wrote this standing in my backyard after rescuing a cold-stunned bumblebee.

Before I get into this, I need to address something from my last post.

Hi y'all.

It’s college football season here in the US and that means I get lots of quality time with my husband watching.

Between school being out, some family travel, and interviews (2 this week for really interesting roles - wish me luck!

The other night, my husband mumbled to pass him the “big pillow”.

I came across this post by Olivia Teich about Dropbox Paper and it hit home.

Just got back from Aruba.

Before I get to the actual post, I need to pause.

I've been thinking a lot about connection lately.

Update: This post was inspired by my conversation about leading with quality with Rosie Sherry of MoT.

In my current pursuit to organize all of the knowledge I have stored across tools and apps, I've been decluttering my digital “stuff” and came across some old docs from a quality assessment framework we used when I started at Dropbox back in 2016.
