Brown Bag Webinar: From Pointy Hair to Curly Tie... Surviving Project Management August 21, 2008

The QA or Project Manager has the unique perspective of knowing more about a project than any other individual. The QA engineer knows the execution of the tasks, but does not know the overall strategic view of management. Senior management knows the higher level goals, but is not executing the test plans. The QA Manager usually has insight to both and is there to bridge the gap and make strategic vision an executed reality. This presentation will take a light-hearted approach to the challenges a QA Manager faces while illustrating techniques that can improve product quality and communication from management to testers.
