Starting a QA practice alone is not easy. The true challenge is to bring value to the organization's purpose and mission, aligning the various stakeholders on the right priorities.

Lina Kulakova is the founder of the QualityTalks community. She joined tb.lx to take on the challenge of driving quality in the company. In this interview, we share her perspective, learnings and convictions about her experience.

We cover the following themes through this interview:

• Understanding the company context, purpose and mission
• Aligning stakeholders expectations on the value to deliver
• The importance to develop habits, autonomy and collaboration
• How to implement fast feedback loops to experiment the value of quality
• Select the tool to support the overall why, not only a technology silo
• Focus on prevention rather than reaction and its impact on measurement
