  • Regularly communicate with other teams and share technical resources, knowledge and lessons learned.
  • Work in a multi-disciplinary Agile Team understanding Agile delivery principles, methodologies and tools.
  • Embed shift-left testing practices through adopting continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery and continuous deployment (CD) practices.
