This [month in my premium content](https://www.annemariecharrett.com/kent-becks-3x-and-quality-a-quality-coach-perspective/), I talk about the different quality strategies you might use depending on your company's stage. The three phases I look at are startup, growth and enterprise. I based the quality strategy on the 3x model developed by Kent Beck, where 'explore' equates to a startup, 'expand' to growth and 'extract' to an enterprise. It can also be applied to the product lifecycle and how it evolves. 

It's a beefy article I hope you enjoy it!
