Product-Minded Platforms: Empowering Engineers for Business Impact
As IT navigates the significant transformation towards product-oriented delivery, platform engineering finds itself at a critical point. The pressure is growing across all of IT, from product teams to the foundational platform teams, to not only deliver but to demonstrate tangible business value and drive down costs.
This talk tackles this challenge head-on, exploring how to integrate product thinking directly within platform teams. We'll explore the practical application of the key Dimensions of the Product Operating Model, reimagining user-centered design specifically for platform engineering.
A tangible approach involves shifting the mindset, intrinsically motivating engineers to prioritize creating measurable business outcomes and cost efficiencies, rather than solely focusing on feature development and top-down decision making.
