It's a themed episode this week, as Mel brings us five of her favourite duets for a lively discussion about pairing in the workplace, and how effective communication can improve the flow of information within our teams.
We talk about how to set up a strong pairing environment, how to run sessions over a remote connection, and negotiating with colleagues from different disciplines. You'll also learn about several of Mel's earlier career trajectory, including one role which makes her better at teeing-up song links than Neil!
You can reach Mel on the Ministry of Testing Slack or via Twitter (@melthetester).
