I would have soooo loved to have taken part. I have a thing for post-it notes. We go back a long way :-) You won't be doing another contest of this kind again in the future, will you? Pretty pleeeease! It’s a pity the contest’s done. I would have soooo loved to have taken part. I have a thing for post-it notes.

I totally agree that team performance and efficiency improve once the team is happier. I worked on that with my testing team. We have to be happy, enjoy and suppor each other. How amazing the performance of the team went up especially after we moved to Agile testing. Thanks Derek. Very nice indeed.
