Becoming a Valuable Test Manager in the Age of Agility
summary
Test managers shift from task supervisors to leaders who enforce three concrete practices: clarify the overarching goal and ask why this project, why now, have leaders commit to a team so teams work one product at a time, and stop multitasking using the project portfolio flow approach from the book. They apply modern management skills—clarify purpose at all levels, create psychological safety, support autonomy/mastery/purpose, encourage experiments—and measure success by whether teams deliver completed stories and reduce work-in-progress.
