Important aspects I missed in the past when working with operations:
- Be ready to be involved early, take responsibility. THINK and ASK questions to understand your role in this specific project.
- Improve. Don’t stop if it is somehow working.
- Teach development actively and help them to improve. Don’t wait till dev team runs into trouble and don’t blame them (as they should not blame you). Offer help as soon as you see any problems.
- Talk to the product owner, try to understand what he is talking about. Your job is not about playing with servers and operating systems but to generate value by running a solution that is required to achieve the goal/vision of the company.
- Be friendly, think about hanging around for some beers with the guys from dev team.
