Team

Teams change over time, and with them the group dynamics and team roles that each person in the team has.

I returned home in a bad mood, which didn’t help home life. There were only two ways out of this situation.

And other times, testing can be fun, and if the processes are set correctly you don’t need to even know it’s going on. Which is our case.

You might be wondering what on earth an Australian is doing on the other side of the world, working at a PPC company that consists almost solely of Czechs. It’s a pretty good question — one I get a lot. I like to quote Kafka: “Prague never lets you go.
