Tactics for Excellence

---

The approach to Product Engineering Excellence, which leads to a Dev(Sec)Ops capability, is not just Engineers, it’s a mindset and series of tactics which in turn develops capabilities – this is enabler to create an exhilarating way of learning and completing the best work, improve fast and have fun. This is one way of shaping an Engineering Culture for tomorrow.

A forward-looking exercise to predict potential failure points, enabling proactive problem-solving.

Engineers identify their own training needs through “Engineering Fire Break” sessions, fostering a culture of continuous learning.

Decision-making responsibilities are assigned to subject-matter experts, avoiding delays from committee-style deliberations.

For critical challenges, the team unites in time-boxed efforts led by an informed captain to resolve issues quickly and effectively.

Paired programming ensures real-time collaboration, quality assurance, and knowledge sharing.

Informal one-on-one discussions replace traditional meetings, creating space for problem-solving and skill development. 

One should not seek to preserve the Engineering culture—they should seek to improve it. Every new employee, every new challenge and even the big ideas reshape and evolve the culture one initially built.  One should strive to learn faster than ever, because they have more dedicated people with more diverse perspectives working to excel our Excellence.

That cultural excellence excels engineering excellence, which decreases product risks and ensures customer satisfaction. This in turn propels the long-term growth; it’s how one can build an extraordinarily successful capability.
