This month [Neil Younger](https://www.annemariecharrett.com/author/neilyounger/) returns with another punchy post on accelerating a culture of quality by identifying company engineering needs. This build on Neil's original post on building a [culture of learning](https://www.annemariecharrett.com/build-a-culture-of-learning-by-amplifying-team-wins-2/) by amplifying team wins.

The post builds on Alan Page's work on [modern testing](https://www.moderntesting.org/?ref=annemariecharrett.com). It explores ways for teams to assess what matters to them and how to improve continuously—definitely, one to read.

## **Quality Opportunity Solution Tree**

This second premium post explores how to think critically through options that help amplify quality. Many people leap to software testing when thinking about improving quality. The reality is there exist many ways to improve quality that might even reduce dependency on software testing. This could be good news if the speed of deployment is essential to your company. 

[Quality Solution Opportunity TreeThis framework asks at a high level: “How else might we improve quality?”. It’s a simple open-ended question that encourages alternative perspectives, which is a good antidote to tunnel vision and SBS (silver bullet syndrome)![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e2/0b/e20b1dc7-7596-416c-bbad-2be3126c3a68/content/images/size/w256h256/2021/06/icon.png)Anne-Marie CharrettAnne-Marie Charrett![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e2/0b/e20b1dc7-7596-416c-bbad-2be3126c3a68/content/images/2023/06/OPPTREE1-3.png)](https://www.annemariecharrett.com/quality-solution-opportunity-tree/)
