Level 1, Optimation House
1 Grey Street, Wellington

NZCS Wellington Test Professionals Network presents:

Sarah Rees - The Art of Test Team Management and Motivation

There is information aplenty on how to manage the test process itself, but the less predictable area of managing the team is often neglected.

The saying "Management is management is management" is true; good management skills go a long way, but managing and motivating a test team does present some rather particular problems.

When it comes to a test team, a real understanding of the personalities of testers and the challenges of working in testing will go a lot further than relying on a standard management approach.

Come along to hear Sarah Rees present her thoughts and join in the discussion on this important and relevant topic.

Drinks and nibbles will be provided.

Test Professionals wish to thank Westpac for providing the venue
