CORPORATE DUNGEON MASTER - RPG TOOLS FOR MORE EFFECTIVE TABLETOP TESTS
Tabletop tests of incident response or business continuity plans can be bland, box-checking affairs without much engagement or learning. But they're close cousins to tabletop RPGs, and those are fun! Where did we go wrong? We took a few techniques from the gaming table and applied them in our tabletop tests, and got better engagement across our organization plus more productive lessons from the exercise.

Jason has spent almost twenty years in the tech industry. In that time, they've been a teacher, a test engineer, a development manager, a software engineer, and performed one ill-advised attempt at program management. In their time at Amazon, Instructure, and Karat, they've performed around a thousand technical interviews, but who's counting? Today, Jason is at Karat, working to open doors into the tech industry by creating a more fair and predictive interview process. They live with their husband in the drizzly paradise of Seattle. Ask them about board games, community-building, puzzle design, queer theory, or anything you're deeply excited by.
