📘 What's different about the published version?
If you are a premium subscriber to the quality coach book, you already know about the content. But the content is hard to find, and sometimes it's not polished.
The blog's content has been completely revised and edited in the published book. Plus there's new content that doesn't exist yet on this blog.
The Quality Coach's Handbook covers topics such as "What is a quality coach?" "How does it work with a team?" "What coaching techniques are useful?" and "How do I think about quality in modern engineering organisations?"
There is advice for Engineering Managers and Directors on how to lead quality and organisational structures to consider when adopting this model.
The handbook leans toward the practical. It's based on years of experience running similar quality models in growth companies. It contains workshops on various topics, from exploratory testing, health checks, and test automation strategies to creating an improvement process.

🙋♀️ Quality, Critical Thinking and Risk in Modern Engineering
I'm still writing on the blog! This recent post is about the evolution of product excellence and what quality means for discovery, delivery, and service operations. It explores what risk means for these areas and the types of questions worth asking throughout product engineering.
It's a premium article, and it's worth its weight in gold when it comes to understanding how to think about quality in modern engineering.


You can also check out my post on how to write a book. What can I say? It's a process! You might be surprised that I never considered myself good at English.
🏘️ Picks from the Community
Enough about me! There is plenty of other great content out there.




I liked this interview with Ale Moreira by Keith Klain.
OK, I lied about not spruiking my book any more, but I really had to share this interview Janet Gregory and Lisa Crispin did with me. It's 15 minutes of goodness.
