You're in a meeting, but you and your colleagues just can't seem to get each other. You've shared all the relevant data, and the solution seems obvious to you, but there they go again, heading off in some completely esoteric and unintelligible way. Frustrating right? 

It's a little like what happens when you write some code, only to find it misbehaving in production.

As developers and QAs, we solved misbehaving code with Unit Tests. We adjusted the way we develop so we could get more predictable outcomes.

We invented TDD.

What if there was a way to apply this method to those confusing and often frustrating conversations with our colleagues? What if we could test our conversations, as we make them, to get better results?

In this session, we'll talk about how we can apply the Ladder of Inference to help us test and verify our conversations and conclusions as we make them.
