The Why Special - do you ask why? How else can you ask questions that get results?

The Evil Tester Show - A podcast by Alan Richardson

"Why?" is an incredibly popular question.   I think it has problems. I try to avoid it when I'm consulting.   In this show we will examine "Why?" and under what circumstances I do use it.   "Why?" is almost a default question because it can take the place of every other question. It is easy to ask. We don't even need to know what answer we want. It's also a very ambiguous question, and when we ask why there is a risk that people try to read into our motivation, and that people might take offence.   Show notes will be available at https://eviltester.com/show
