I enjoyed our conversation, Rosie. 🀩 Thanks for the opportunity to join Into The MoTaverse again. We hope listeners gain more insight into our thinking around what it means and takes to build the MoTaverse.

Thinking in testing: Are we missing the questions we should be asking  image
Some more question ideas that lean towards the thinking side of things. 5. What assumptions did we make that led to what happened? 6. What questions did we not think of that might have helped us? 7. What risks didn't we think of? 8. What risks did we think wouldn't be as important as they proved to be?

Nice one, Ady. I like the extra questions that bring in thinking. So this set of questions feel super helpful: 1. Why did we miss this? 2. Where is the gap in our process? 3. Why didn't we think about this? 4. Where is the gap in our thinking?'

"Build things which are just fun." Love that! And while the MoTaverse platform is there for serious learning, we are also here to build things that are just fun. And bring that fun and joy into everything we deliver. Glad to hear your latest public speaking journey is going well. πŸŽ‰
