What do great tech teams look like?
<p>Over the last several years leading and building teams, I noticed a pattern that distinguishes great engineering teams from average ones. There is a lot of information on how to make great teams. However, it’s tough to build processes and frameworks without knowing what great actually looks like.</p>
<p>In this article, I share what I have decoded. The pyramid below depicts what the various stages of that journey might look like.</p>

<p><strong>Delivery Excellence: </strong>At the foundational level, a great tech team is one that consistently delivers value. This means they meet deadlines, achieve project goals, and produce high-quality software. They establish best practices of software development and experiment with practices that enable faster delivery to customers. Agile and its various methodologies were born to foster success in this.</p>
<p><strong>Operational Excellence: </strong>Assuming that the team is able to deliver value, the way to ratchet it up to the next level is to focus on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_excellence" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">operational excellence</a>. With the advent of the cloud (AWS/ Google Cloud/Azure) the <a href="https://wa.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/2020-07-02T19-33-23/wat.pillar.operationalExcellence.en.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">path to operational excellence</a> has become easier. The best teams are the first to know when there’s an issue in their system. The right telemetry around delivery, deployment, and monitoring saves the team time to work on the next step of their greatness journey.</p>
