Bob Aiello – December 2002
Recently, I gave up my “day” job as a Release Management guru to take on an assignment as a test manager. You might think that this was a strange decision on my part (and honestly I did volunteer knowing that this would require a couple months of 12 hour six day work weeks!). The truth is, I have done more testing (although usually automated testing) than I have done CM. So, was this really changing jobs or just expanding my role in the organization? Testing is a natural job responsibility for the experienced CM practitioner. If you want to jump start your career and boost your value as a technology expert read on to see how Testing fits perfectly into my real “day job” which is helping my organization deploy complex financial systems rapidly to support our global business objectives!
