Do you work in sales? If you’re part of a team in a DevOps environment, your answer is an immediate “no.” As an engineer, testing professional, or operations leader, you are performing technical tasks that help move high-quality software through the pipeline and out into production.
Still, let’s face it, part of all of our jobs is selling something to somebody. You may have to coax a teammate to approach coding a certain feature in a different way than they had planned or convince them to run one last QA test for you...again. You certainly also face situations when you have to sell your boss that an idea you came up with might just help the team do a better job on an important task.
