The Panel is one of the ways that me and my team get feedback from stakeholders.

The Sector Panel&#8217;s main role is to provide strategic advice to SQA about what&#8217;s going on externally and what we should be doing in response. There are 27 members representing employers, universities, colleges, schools, training centres, national organisations and professional bodies.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.qualifications.gov.scot\/computing-digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2018\/10\/20181005_123136.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2768\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qualifications.gov.scot\/computing-digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/20181005_123136-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a>\n<p>It was a good meeting on Friday. I always take the opportunity to ask what we should be working on and I got lots of suggestions on Friday &#8212; including Agile, Dev Ops, UX and UI. We&#8217;ll put together an action list and get to work on some of those ideas.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re always looking for people to serve on the Panel so please <a href=\"mailto:lorraine.mcfadyen@sqa.org.uk\">contact Lorraine<\/a> if you want to know what&#8217;s involved in membership.
