![This image shows a table covered in colourful sticky notes with various phrases and questions written on them. It appears to be a brainstorming session or a planning meeting, likely about software development and testing.
Here are some of the key themes and phrases that stand out:
Testing & Development: "Checking vs Testing," "Agile," "Automation Testing or Development driven?" "Focus on team driven"
Process & Roles: "Everything can be automated," "How best to get [developers?] working," "Appreciate strengths of each role," "Get people to do what they're good [at]"
Efficiency & Budget: "Incentivize to reduce admin," "Budget," "Is testing...prudent?"
User Focus: "Depends on context of app," "It may need to evolve," "User or technical"
The notes suggest a discussion about optimizing development processes, potentially by introducing automation, improving team dynamics, and focusing on user needs. The different coloured sticky notes might indicate different categories or levels of priority for the topics.](https://d8iqbmvu05s9c.cloudfront.net/90x83m3k0nnog3bacc8cxlva1mga)
