PNSQC mini-Open Space Event (online)
3/23/2024

Attend the PNSQC Spring Mini-Open Space event

We invite software developers, testers, business analysts, consultants and executives to come participate in this event where we tackle the theme “The Future is Now: Where's My Quality Jet Pack?” Discussions around the current state of Quality in Software and where it succeeds, fails, and where it will lead.

Why would I want to go to this if I don't know what I'll learn?

This is about connection through conversation. Prepare to be surprised. Open Spaces are an opportunity to get a new perspective, open yourself to new possibilities. Part of the value proposition is in not knowing what you’ll learn and by charting new territory.

Here's what you can expect

  • Engaging sessions on QA practices and techniques

  • Opportunities to connect with industry peers and thought leaders

  • Insights into the latest trends and developments in QA methodologies

  • A chance to expand your knowledge and skills in a supportive environment

Some of the topics that we may discuss

  • Are we satisfied with the future?

  • What do we mean by a quality jetpack?

  • What are the modern practices and tools?

  • Is automation really testing?

  • How do we measure quality?

  • Writing code as an art form

  • What’s your definition of a QA engineer?

  • What are you lacking at work? Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose

  • Measuring value in what you do

You don’t need to be an expert to propose a topic, as long as you have a passion to hold the space.

This is a free, virtual event.
The event will not be recorded as video or audio, so whoever attends will be the right people.

This event is sponsored in part by the Open Space Institute. Open Space Technology (OST) is a group facilitation approach for small and large gatherings in which a central purpose, issue,
