Roundtable: Exploring Quality with Templates and Charters
-
Locked
Talk Description
A virtual roundtable discussion focused on templates and charters
Templates and charters are everywhere in quality work, but how are people actually using them? In this virtual roundtable, we'll dig into how structured tools like test charters and templates can sharpen exploration, align teams, and make quality work more visible.
Come ready to share what's working, what isn't, and what you've built or borrowed. Whether you swear by a well-crafted charter or you're sceptical of any template that outlives its context, this is a space to challenge assumptions and pick up ideas you can take straight back to your work.
Insight roundups related to this session:
- Test charters and templates: Same objectives, better tools
- The standardisation shivers
- Everything is scattered. Nothing is structured.
