On 12th & 13th of this month, there was training on Software Quality, those set of procedures in this firm for producing quality products. The first day was very interesting; may be because it was interactive. The second day subjects were dry and abstract and obviously boring.

There was a test at the end of the training. That wasn’t the worst part, if we failed, we had to come back for the training. I’m bit averse to tests/exams, that is why, I stopped after under-graduation. Anyway, I sat for the test and today we got the results. I had just passed. Pfff! What a relief!

I’ve been in this industry for a decade and attended many such programs where they claim each of ‘their’ practices to be the best in the industry. At every such claim, I remember this quote: ‘In theory, there is a no difference between theory and practice; but in practice there is’. It is so true in project and quality management.
