## 🥼 🧪 Experiments in Quality Coaching

This month's premium article looks at experiments in quality coaching. 

Experiments are a safe way for a team to try out new ideas. The latest article discusses experiments, what they are, and why they're so helpful in quality coaching. I also share a story about how a team I was coaching experimented with BDD. I finish by sharing a few tips and tricks I've learned over the years around experimentation.
