A screenshot from a virtual conference session featuring Rahul Parwal as the main speaker, actively gesturing while presenting. Behind him is a display shelf filled with certificates and awards. The right side of the screen shows participant video tiles, including Selmen Ben Said, Mariem Safi, Jinene Hedfi, and a tile indicating "21 others" attending. The setting appears to be a professional meetup, possibly part of the MoT Sousse community event.
I'm too happy to have Rahul Parwal as a Speaker!

An AI generated image of a pencil that's half mechanical, half old-fashioned, with text underneath that lays out the steps in facilitating a test planning workshop: Invite the team, and share feature documentation beforehand. Ask the product owner to give a brief overview of the feature. Collect and then prioritise high risk areas based on business impact and complexity, maybe by using a simple matrix. Discuss how the team can mitigate the highest and most impactful risks. Determine how you can test for those. Document the outcomes, and agree on ownership of action items.

A humorous timeline comic titled "Modern" shows how the word "modern" is confusingly used across historical periods. It marks overlapping eras: "Early Modern" (~1850), "Modernist" (~1900), "Mid-Century Modern" (~1950), "Postmodern" (~1980), and "Modern" (~2000 onward). To the right, a separate panel zooms into a spike labeled "Modern Testing" around "2017-ish," poking fun at software testing buzzwords. Caption below: "The use of the word 'modern' to refer to a bunch of specific historical periods is a fun prank by historians."

A large group of adults are smiling and posing for a selfie in a photobooth in front of a backdrop that says "Ministry of Testing". The people in the foreground are wearing pink t-shirts, one with a green tinsel garland around her neck. Some individuals in the background are making hand gestures. The lighting appears to be from a flash, creating some highlights on faces. The overall atmosphere seems joyful and celebratory.

A Crowdcast webinar meeting screen capture shows four participants in a video conference call, with a poll displayed in the center. The poll asks, "Which team's insights on when and where quality coaching is most effective resonate most with your team's context?" with two options: "AVIVA (AJ Wilson)" and "CO-OP (Clare Norman & Shweta Jaju)". The meeting is for "The Testing Planet" and participants are instructed to join the poll at Slido.com using the event code #TTP-Ep10. A QR code is also provided for joining the poll. Chat messages are visible on the right side of the screen, including a countdown from 10 to 0 and a message stating "A draw of brilliance and knowledge". The bottom of the screen shows a row of profile icons for other participants, and a prompt to "Say something nice". A "Have you got an MoT Profile yet?" button is also visible.

A man in a blue polo shirt and jeans stands to the left of a projection screen, addressing a large group of people seated in rows of chairs in a brightly lit room. Many of the seated individuals have their hands raised. The room has a modern design with fluorescent lighting fixtures on the ceiling, and glimpses of the outside greenery can be seen through windows along one wall. A few people are standing in the background near a doorway.
