Break out of traditional IT roles with your internal platform. Build a product based on customer empathy and real needs to achieve broad adoption.
Many platforms have been built only to become yet another underutilized option in the enterprise, stacked up with all the rest. With the industry push into platform teams, we can use product management methods to reverse this trend and build a platform our customers actually need and want to adopt.
In this talk, we'll discuss the shift to a product model for internal platforms and how this benefits from people-centric tools like customer empathy and the new DevEx framework. When combined with roadmaps that demonstrate your attention to customer needs, we can create a compelling experience for developers that will drive adoption.
To bring these concepts home, we'll discuss some examples and counter-examples from over a decade of building platforms and platform teams.
