Quality During Design
I help other engineers Pierce the Design Fog: do early work with your team, address risks, reduce headaches, and design what others love. "Use Quality during Design."
I share resources, practical advice, and problem-solving techniques for Quality Thinking throughout the design cycle.
* Get better collaboration with cross-functional groups
* Use data to clearly make decisions, including translating qualitative data into measurable analytics
* Apply risk-based thinking to prioritize actions and make decisions.
If you want to learn how to do it or learn what is possible with help, then join Quality during Design!
