Role of the skilled Project Manager and Test Manager for smooth and successful implementation

In Conversation with Expert Test Lead Pilar Gonzalez: Enhancing Project Collaboration

In my latest webinar, I sit down with Pilar Gonzalez, an experienced Test Lead, to explore how strong collaboration between the Project Manager and the Test Lead can significantly improve the success of technology projects.
Pilar emphasizes the value of proactive and early engagement between these two roles. When the Project Manager works thoughtfully with the Test Lead from the outset, it sets the stage for smoother implementations and better project outcomes.

A key insight Pilar shares is the importance of recognising the Test Lead’s role early in the project lifecycle. Their ability to ask the “uncomfortable questions” helps uncover potential risks and ensures more accurate planning around timelines, budgets, and resource allocation. Unfortunately, Test Leads are often brought in too late, missing critical opportunities to influence the project’s direction.

We also discuss practical steps Project Managers can take to integrate testing considerations early in the planning phase. By involving the Test Lead sooner, teams benefit from more strategic planning and ultimately deliver higher-quality results.
