  • Turning Team Diversity Into a Strength for Better Problem Solving - Ben Linders
    Jul 3 2025
    In this episode, I talk to Ben Linders about what really drives team autonomy and effective software development. We get into team culture, the importance of psychological safety, and why diversity matters - not just as a feel-good topic, but as a genuine catalyst for change. Ben shares practical tips from his workshops, discussing how teams can move from being stuck to taking meaningful action. We discuss, how to avoid that sticky notes from retrospectives gather dust and how to make results visible, keeping actions manageable, and introducing a little bit of fun through gamification.

  • Holistic Testing - Lisa Crispin
    Jun 26 2025
    In this episode, I talk to Lisa Crispin about holistic testing and what it really means for teams striving for better software quality. Lisa brings her experience to the conversation, sharing how testing is much more than a stage or a checklist - it’s a mindset that weaves through every part of the development process. We dig into the practical side: how teams can focus on both internal and external quality, the value of strong relationships, and the power of good questions. It’s clear: true quality comes from collaboration and curiosity, not just tools or process. There’s a lot for teams to rethink here.

  • Testing Needs Leaders and Not Just Testers - Kari Kakkonen
    Jun 19 2025
    In this episode, I talk to Kari Kakkonen about his Act 2 Lead model and why testing leadership is often missing in software testing. We unpack the reality that while grassroots testing within teams works well, the higher levels of organizations often lack a real understanding and leadership around quality. Kari lays out his model, a memorable eight-letter heuristic, as both a guide and a checklist for leaders at any level. It made me reflect on how companies approach testing - sometimes leaving it solely to autonomous teams but missing the big picture. I found myself wondering: is strong leadership the missing link for better quality software?
