Delivery manager/Project Manager to tester: “Is the product ready to deliver?”
Few thoughts on the above question:
– Does PM/Delivery manager forget his role in project? Does he forgets tester’s role in the project? why he is asking this to tester?
– Does this mean he should work on his decision making skills? Why he cannot analyze the data collected by dev/testing teams.

Every manager expects that team members should be pro-active. Team members also expect that managers should be proactive and understand their responsibility. Gerald M. Weinberg also mentions in his book (Perfect Software and other illusions in Software Testing):
Over-honoring testers: If you let them make your decision for you, then you should step down and let them earn the manager’s salary.
