## Source excerpt

1. What are four keys for great DevOps? Collaboration: DevOps requires collaboration, both within teams and between teams. Good communication between teams implies to break down silos, which can be harder than it sounds in organizations where a leader and their team are rewarded for individual achievements, discouraging them from collaborating and sharing information with others, and often encouraging politics at the expense of the company's success. Blameless Culture: It also requires to internalize that we learn from our failures. Instead of promoting a culture where mistakes can seriously hinder one's career and are therefore often shoved under the rug, we need to embrace a blameless culture where each failure becomes an opportunity to improve, and improve continuously.
