Leading SAP Test Teams and Business Testers

Keep this: job aid

SAP test lead people-management card

• Estimate twice: unit rates × scope, plus three-point expert estimates. Publish a range with assumptions.
• Estimate data, integration, authorizations and tester availability explicitly.
• Lead by end-to-end process; one accountable owner per activity (RACI).
• Separate builders from judges; UAT acceptance comes from the business.
• Agree business tester release and backfill in writing; track actual hours weekly.
• Readiness check before UAT: logon, roles, assigned test, practice step.
• Support: floor-walkers, 15-minute daily stand-up, afternoon clinic.
• Contracts: deliverables with acceptance criteria; one shared test tool.
• Disputes: written classification path and severity definitions.
• Compression: options with cost and risk; never cut coverage silently; record who accepted.
