Workshop: Questions can be extremely powerful. Don’t waste yours.

About the workshop: Questions are a powerful tool, and good questioning skills are extremely important for both people and software development. We don’t spend enough time learning how to use our questions, when to use them, when not to use them.
Often questions are wasted – or even worse, unasked. In this workshop, we’ll explore and improve our questioning techniques and knowledge. We’ll gain insights on where we can improve and how to and when to use our questions.
