When I started my current job I had a chat with @heatherreiduff.bsky.social, she told me to ask my manager: what does success look like in this role? It's a question that stuck with me and has been useful in multiple contexts. Happy to see it on Heather's and @lenapejgan.bsky.social's slides today.

Learning about transitioning from a tester in a leadership role to being a manager from @heatherreiduff.bsky.social and @lenapejgan.bsky.social at #AgileTD. Heather's thinking about moving to management, Lena moved from tester to manager already.

Kicking off strong with Claire Reckless asking us if we've ever felt that we didn't belong in a role, had nobody to go to for support or share our success. #PeersCon24

Pro tip "Ask your manager if they are open to receiving feedback today" from @alexschl.bsky.social at #AgileTD. Managers get a lot of criticism every single day & sometimes your feedback might be better another time.

"The art of maximizing the amount of work not done - is essential" It's a fine art to balance getting the smallest solution out the door. Another talk at #AgileTD I can absolutely relate to 😁 With @alexschl.bsky.social and her colleague Tim.

Regarding the discussion on "should people post 'you are safe with me' share pics" I found this great contribution on Mastodon. As opposed to the other pictures this is a message that I feel comfortable sharing. (Shared with permission and without credit as requested)
