Isn’t one of the best gifts a manager can give to their team, the gift of clarity?
A manager able to give their team programmatic tests to pass brings a level of precision which makes it much easier for them to know when the work is done.
If managers communicate requirements in the form of acceptance tests more often, then the problem of projects running over time and over budget will occur significantly less often, because there will be clear finish lines for dev teams to run towards and cross, and reproducible pass/fail outcomes to inspire confidence.
