Looking forward to the elaboration around Quality specifically.  I have been spending a lot of time recently (more than a year so far) trying to delve into what Quality is – what people mean when they use the word, specifically in terms of software but generally as well.

I can’t promise definitions but I can promise an elaboration of the feelings that those words represent for me

I like the idea of “progress”, although it doesn’t connect with me as well as “advancement”. I had considered it and chose advancement instead.Mostly I chose it because it connected with how I feel. I completely understand your concerns about the message it might send. I hadn’t considered the ‘selfish advancement’ issue… And I would hope that my team-mates wouldn’t be thinking that way. My experience on teams is a sense of fellowship where this sort of thing generally isn’t a concern. We advance as a team. I recognise that this isn’t always the case.

Advancement, for me, is more than progress. It’s about making advances in progress and our ability to make progress.

Thanks again for taking the time to give me feedback. The more I get, the deeper my understanding of these ideas gets.
