The Spirits of Technical Writing Past, Present, and Future

We explore the spirits of technical writing past, present, and future. We explore how and why they help us to write for ALL of our audiences.

The Gifts Others Bring

What are the gifts others bring to new product development? We consider a mindset to bring design inputs into our designs from other people.

Next Steps after Surprising Test Results

We use test to learn more about the product in order to make design decisions. What do we do when we get surprising test results?

Choose Reliability Goals for Modules

We have a reliability target for our system. But we’re not meeting it. To avoid this scenario, what is something we can do in early development? When we’re figuring out our concept, we can better learn about our options. We can work with Reliability Engineers to understand what we know, the risk in what we…

Start a System Architecture Diagram Early

We talk about ways to use a very simple System Architecture Diagram early in development to help us choose where to direct our attention first when starting with a new concept.

Why Yield Quality in the Front-End of Product Development

We want to yield quality in the front-end of product development, to help us do the engineering work that’s important for great designs.

QDD Book Cast

Where do we sometimes need to look for inspiration? Books!
In this QDD Book Cast, we talk about 11 books in 5 different topics that are useful for different perspectives on engineering and design topics.

Engineering in the Color Economy

We explore facets of sustainable economic models: Green, Blue, Yellow, and Orange. How are you engineering in the color economies?

Getting to Great Designs

We talk about the spectrum of designs (from great to spam), the various customers engineers need to design for, and how engineers can work with their team in getting to great designs.

Get clarity on goals with a continuum

Seeing if we have alignment on goals is easy if we gather the team and stakeholders for 10 minutes and use a continuum.
