There isn't an easy way OOB to do this. You can add a listener but to be honest, if they want to see all activity for a project then I would probably do as @Andy Brook suggested and simply add him/her to the each notification rule (created, updated, commented, etc). Of course this is at the project level so if users NOT in the managers org are working issues in the project then this may not be the solution you desire.

Depending on the details of the situation I would look at notifying the manager via Automation as the IF statement can restrict to a list of Assignees.

e.g.

when: created, commented, updated, transitions

if: assignee in (fred, wilma, bam bam)

then: email micro.manager

or something like that...

yes the manager wants to track general activities .

by making him watcher on all issues, is it something that could be done automatically ? if yes could you explain it alittle more
