As i attended this session my point here is, it’s crucial to understand that measuring productivity and morale goes beyond just tracking metrics. Effective leaders often use a combination of quantitative tools, such as project management software and performance dashboards, along with qualitative feedback through regular one-on-one meetings and anonymous surveys. This ensures a holistic view of both productivity and the team’s emotional well-being.

With experience in QA or as a team lead, I believe engagement can be fostered by recognizing achievements, providing growth opportunities, and encouraging innovation. For instance, let team members lead automation initiatives or explore new testing tools. For new QA professionals, create a mentorship program where they can shadow senior members, allowing them to feel valued and included from day one.
