The Match.com principle: too many choices is no choice at all. Many backlogs look a lot like Match search results.

Quality is an aspect of culture that must infuse the organization. Standardized mandated process wont get you that. You need people at the top who instill a culture of quality. It ultimately comes down to personal values. Teams can realize quality in ways that make sense to them.
I signed up for an event to be delivered via @zoom_us. Clicking the link to add it to my Google Calendar prompted me to grant Zoom permissions to see and edit all my calendars. That is madness; this functionality requires no permissions at all. #zoommeetings #ITSecurity #privacy

This shouldn't even be controversial. This is a poor predictor of effectiveness. Obvious counterexamples are everywhere. Strong educational backgrounds are one way to realize skills and dispositions that can be realized in many ways, but don't guarantee them. Don't be lazy.
One thing that would be interesting to look at as a variable in analyzing the spread of the novel #coronavirus by region is whether or not contactless payments have become the norm. Probably tough to get enough reliable data to isolate, I'm just curious about the impact.
