Yours sincerely, Patricia

Paper published: Practically best friends?! Agility and ISO 9001

In addition to my keynote of the same name held at the 64TH EOQ Scientific Quality Congress (online) in June, my contribution to the conference proceedings is now published as part of my management series under creative commons.

"Agile practices and agile teams fit perfectly into a quality management system! Process regulation, control and documentation are necessary. But their definition can be far more general, flexible and self-determined than many people realise."
