-Some of the better practices to keep in mind when leveling up with DevEx are: [click]**Equip teams** with integrated, user-friendly tools that support automation, collaboration, and real-time communication. Choose the tools which align with both Dev and Ops needs. Get their input in the decision. Just because your buddy's IT startup says they offer 10x developer productivity doesn't mean it works for your teams, much less that it works at all. [click]**Put in place cross-functional teams** that include roles with diverse expertise (e.g., development, operations, quality assurance) to foster a shared understanding and responsibility from project inception through to deployment and maintenance. [click]**Establishing robust feedback mechanisms** allow for continuous learning and improvement. Conduct regular retrospectives, incorporate user feedback into development cycles, and use monitoring tools to gather insights on performance and user experience. [click]Reduce toil and free up team members to focus on more strategic activities by **automating repetitive and manual tasks wherever possible.** This includes automating testing, deployments, and infrastructure provisioning. [click]**Ensure that team members have opportunities to learn and grow** their skills in both development and operations domains. This helps in building empathy between teams and equips individuals with the knowledge to understand and contribute to different stages of the development lifecycle.
