Beyond the specific technologies used, John, how did you foster a culture of continuous improvement and learning within your team at MMT Digital to stay ahead of the curve in cloud and SRE practices?

I've always been keen on knowledge sharing. I would always make sure the team understand all of the different aspects of the project. Also, it is important to always listen to different people, with different aspects. It all adds to the richness and robustness of the team and product.I have a huge range of soft skills, and enjoy mentoring people, because it has really helped and benefited me to explain things and share ideas. Sometimes explaining things to people can really help. Also, I have always encouraged people to contribute to the team, so that they can own it. If you get to own it, then it gets ingrained in the team. Encourage to go on courses.The feedback process is also really essential. If there isn't a good feedback process, then it is hard to improve. Constantly iterate with the team to make the process better.I also make sure there is time to experiment on technology, and implement the new features and code to add more value and improve the quality of the product. Technology is constantly changing, so it is good to ensure this is looked at and not be afraid. So in essence, it all boils down to knowledging sharing and continuous improvement, and encouraging the team to keep learning and iterating to provide value to themselves and the clients. The team is ultimately essential. I fostered a culture of continuous improvement and learning within my team at MMT Digital by encouraging knowledge sharing, mentoring team members, promoting team ownership, establishing a robust feedback process, and dedicating time for technology experimentation. This approach ensured the team remained up-to-date, adaptable, and consistently delivering high-quality results.
