Announcing my new book: #QUALITYtweet – 140 bite-sized ideas to deliver quality in every project
Tanmay Vora
Writing a book (at least one in my lifetime) was my dream and I am glad to announce that my dream is finally coming true with my first book titled “#QUALITYtweet – 140 bite-sized ideas to deliver quality in every project”.
This book is a compilation of 140 ideas on quality management. Each idea is in form of a tweet – no longer than 140 characters. Twitter’s popularity has proven that you can indeed say a lot in 140 characters.
The inspiration for this book came from Rajesh Setty – my mentor and a very good friend. This book is a part of Rajesh Setty’s #TH!NKtweet series. I cannot thank him enough for his generosity.
The basic premise of this book is that Quality is still a very heavy subject with lot of focus on models, frameworks and theories. With limited time to read, people want short and practical insights on how quality can be managed. This is a book you can read in less than 30 minutes. You can read it over and over again, because each tweet will prompt you to think.
The foreword of #QUALITYtweet is written by Dr. Pankaj Jalote who is an accomplished author, academician and a veteran in the field of Software Quality and Processes. You can read more about him here. Many thanks to him.
I also thank Lisa Haneberg, Skip Angel, Phil Gerbyshak and Michael Wade for their kind words of advance praise. They have been great teachers for me over past few years and they continue to enlighten me. Utpal Vaishnav is a cool friend who reviewed the book with lot of love and care. I thank all my peers at Gateway TechnoLabs who have been extremely supportive and encouraging. Readers of this blog have never failed to inspire me.
The book will hit the stands on 11/11/2009, my daughter’s third birthday! Stay tuned for more updates on #QUALITYtweet in the time to come.
Congratulations, Tanmay. Looking forward to your book’s release. Great accomplishment!

Hi Mujeeb – Thanks. Yes, it was pretty challenging to write 140 tweets and cover ideas that convey strong messages. But at the end of the process, it was a great learning exercise on how to write precisely and elevate the thinking process to the core.
Thanks for commenting!
I am excited about the book (I love it) and also excited for you.
I am very aware of all the hard work you have put in so far with the book. It shows up in the quality of content (pun intended) in the book.
Congratulations again!

Это хорошо что вы начали вести блог,ведь у вас это отлично получается и надеюсь будет еще лучше. Главное писать о том,в чем вы разбираетесь. Удачи. 🙂
Hi Brat – Here is a rough translation of your comment (thanks to Google Translate) –
“It’s good that you started blogging, because you are very successful and I hope will be even better. The main thing to write about what you understand. Good luck”
Thank you for commenting and expressing yourself. It is indeed a matter of honor for me to have readers who do not consider language as a barrier in expressing themselves. This means a LOT to me.
