		<description><![CDATA[The Agile manifesto has been around for over a decade, and Agile remains one of the biggest buzzwords in the software development industry. Despite this longevity (a decade is a long time in the IT world), few people really understand what Agile is.

		<description><![CDATA[As with all leadership roles, one of the most often overlooked aspects of being a good test manager is the need for pursuit. Pursuit of excellence, of elegance, of truth, of what’s next, of what if, of change, of value, of results, of service, of knowledge. Great test managers are never satisfied with traditional practice, static thinking, &#8230; <a href="http://brianheys.com/2011/12/21/why-pursuit-is-an-important-part-of-being-a-test-manager/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brianheys.com&#038;blog=882878&#038;post=4804&#038;subd=brianheys&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
