A piece of advice I received early in my career was that a great answer to any question is 'we're going to take a phased approach'. Agile ways of working will always serve you well!
Marc Hornbeek, DevOps_the_Gray esq.
Quality of daily work is hard to measure, but if you judge your own quality as the % of your work that does not require rework (done is done), then you encourage yourself to be thorough and productive.
Brendan O'Reilly
and you never pass a defect down stream
Romnick Acabado
couldn't agree more!

My choice for best DevOps song is "Stairway to Heaven" by Moody Blues..... DevOps is a journey to continuous improvement...to higher levels of performance.
Brendan O'Reilly
@JayneGroll hadn't realised the Rats got to the US!

Why is it not just the quality of the daily work, but the improvement in the quality of the daily work that matters?
Helen Beal 🐝
What's every human's purpose if not the betterment of the world we live in and leave to our children?
Dheeraj Nayal - Organizer of Global SKILup Day🦸‍♂
Quality is not the ultimate state, it requires continuous improvements and that is what MOST ESSENTIAL to focus !!

Brendan O'Reilly
because if people are not growing they are likely to leave...

Quality is continual improvement process which ask limits and investment. same thing same day same result no growth
Xellentro Consulting
This is not a maturity model where we tick the checklist and done. We really want to keep achieving a moving target - vision. We have to have continual improvement.
NRDevOpsMY
@DEVOPSINS - To value you time and learn from outcome/experience -> "Fast Failed, Fast Learn".
Avoid same mistake and find out alternative ways to doing thing which can be more benefit of quality.
Garima Bajpai
Investing and innovating wisely with changing context
Suresh GP, MBRM
Each and every individual in the value chain should make tomorrow better. So it requires everyone to improve their daily work to make it a high performance team. Together we either win or fall.
Xellentro Consulting
@HappyHelenBeal We somehow have forgotten about this and the current situation have got us to reboot and start looking at things which is really important and gives us satisfaction and happiness actually.
Romnick Acabado
I always believe on "articulate the risk of doing nothing" so it recommended to look on long-term investment and not just be stuck on daily operations which I consider a "whirlwind". Continuous improvement will always have great impact to success of every individual.
Suresh GP, MBRM
Daily ritual is very important than occasional heroics. It improves the resilience for the team and get them motivated.
Donna Knapp
@DEVOPSINST We often get stuck in doing things the way we've always done them. Shifting to never getting stuck in the same place enables learning through experimentation and improvement.

If today "you're the best" but you're not continuously improving, and your competitors are improving, then eventually THEY will be the best.
