+</p>
+
 Based on experience for years mentoring people in different stages (starting their first job, career shift, moving to another work style or company), using a `dynamic MVP-style roadmap` with hands-on projects designed by an experienced DevOps engineer has been highly successful.
 
 That means **first, understanding the problem instead of just learning a bunch of tools** and then **using an iterative style, each iteration will cover most DevOps areas used in the job** to build a T-shaped skills profile from day one! It's also essential to set the targeted market and organizations because, with different DevOps topologies, the DevOps engineer role requirements vary a lot.

 ## Communication is the Key
 
 Unlike many other roadmaps, this roadmap doesn't focus only on the purely technical aspects of DevOps but also includes planning and management. Another critical aspect of a successful DevOps Engineer is good communication skills! That's why it's recommended that you do this roadmap in a group. Read more [why it is not recommended to start this roadmap alone?](../../faq#why-it-is-not-recommended-to-start-this-roadmap-alone) And always remember that, DevOps is about collaboration; **DevOps Engineer is not a Lone Wolf!**

 - Maybe the title "DevOps Engineer" is not the most accurate title in the software industry, that's because it could mean many things.
