On the last Thursday in January PNSQC opened the 2021 Call for Papers with a Culture Jam. The theme this year is Quality Coming Together, and the event was a wonderful chance for people to chat, share views on software quality, and hear some fresh ideas from the speakers. Each speaker had 15 minutes to convey their idea on the theme of how quality comes together for their teams, organizations and projects.
The agenda was
-
- Opening remarks from PNSQC President Brian Gaudreau
- Introduction to the event by Program Chair Philip Lew
- Ensuring a quality-first approach in software development and implementation — a manager’s perspective with Amy Sawyer (With apologies to Amy, due to technical issues we failed to record her presentation).
