while reviewing one of the older projects that was currently implemented in the company I noticed that there was no alerting in place if the data pipeline breaks, the data pipeline has never been broken and it never failed for the last 2 years. it was a pipeline where the data would be dropped into an sftp bucket by the customer every hour and then it was moved to an s3 bucket where s3 triggers were implemented to moved the data in to queue. So in case there is an issue with the data not being processed we would only know when the we see a drop in volume. I identified it as a potential issue with the system and worked on a proposal to have monitoring in place so we are notified when there is an error. I worked with the program manager and devised a plan on how to implement the alerting and the time lines as well as the effort that will be needed to implement it. I mapped the impact of not having it to the current goals of the company and then put forward a proposal of implementing the alerts to the business and took their buyins. after getting the buyins I proposed the task to my team and some of the sr devlopers were not too keen on implenting the alerts, I gave the task to some of the Jr devlopers and the alerts were implemented. after the implementation we discovered that for some hrs in a day we werent getting any files so instead of getting 24 files in a day we were getting 20 files a day in an average. This was rectified by talking to the customer and the missing data was solved. but this made the whole team realize the importance of monitoring and alerting. It also bosted the moral of the Jr developers seeing the direct impact they made to the business goals

Earning the trust of a team is essential for effective collaboration and success. I approach this by:

  1. Being Transparent: I prioritize open communication and honesty. For instance, during a project update meeting, I openly shared the challenges we were facing, which helped build trust among team members as they felt informed and included in the process.

  2. Listening Actively: I make a conscious effort to listen to my team members’ ideas and concerns. When a colleague proposed a new strategy, I encouraged discussion and incorporated their feedback into our plans, demonstrating that I value their input.

  3. Following Through on Commitments: I ensure that I meet deadlines and deliver on my promises. For example, when I noticed our team was at risk of missing a deadline on a key project, I took the initiative to reorganize our workflow, delegate tasks more effectively, and set up short check-in meetings. This allowed us to complete the project on time, reinforcing my reliability to the team.

  4. Showing Empathy: I take the time to understand the individual needs and motivations of my team members. By being supportive during high-pressure times and recognizing their personal challenges, I create a safe space for open communication.

  5. Encouraging Collaboration: I foster a team-oriented culture by celebrating collective achievements. After we completed a project successfully, I organized a small team celebration to recognize everyone’s contributions and strengthen our bond.

  6. Being Approachable: I maintain an open-door policy, inviting team members to share their thoughts or concerns. This accessibility helps establish a friendly atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable engaging with me.

By implementing these strategies and sharing specific examples, I build a foundation of trust that strengthens team dynamics and enhances overall performance."
