Abstract
Investing in Platform teams is a natural pitstop that organizations need to take as they scale. However, to realise the value of investing in Platform teams often take a large amount of time.
This delayed realisation of value is often accompanied by struggles in driving adoption, unclear goals, unsatisfied stakeholders, and demotivated platform teams.
In this talk, we walk you through a similar journey of driving adoption and what strategies were used to:
- Defining the right goals for a platform product at various stages of it’s maturity
- Leveraging your stakeholders the right way
- How focusing on DX can help accelerate your team’s success
