This week I've been reading "Platform Engineering: A Guide for Technical, Product, and People Leaders" and its really resonated with some of the challenges we see on a day-to-day basis with running our large multi-tenant platform. It's also helped me to articulate the "why" behind Platform Engineering to other engineering leaders. If you're leading a Platform Engineering team this is one you should check out! https://lnkd.in/gtzRs4G9

Small tip for those building product teams for developer products. Here's a big failure mode: 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗠 𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺. If the engineering team is already user focused, this can be great, a PM can help with blocking and tackling to help accelerate However, if the engineering team is a bit more out to sea, you're going to need a strong PM to help redirect them. It's such a temptation to do 1:1 PM:EM combinations but for developer products, I've seen it vary more than that - some teams are backend focused, others are titled towards users. The 1:1 to team is great, but it's hard with developer products because some teams are just more infrastructure focused. You'll end up with PMs that are really just program managers or internal PMs to serve LOBs or what not. Those can work, but you've got to have organizational and product maturity to make it happen. We went through a bunch of iterations of this at Databricks, some that didn't work and some that did. Think critically about your team structure, lest you ship the org chart.

If I were a CTO, I’d approach platform engineering this way… The rising of platform engineering is undeniable. But how should a CTO navigate this complex topic?

A recent survey involving 500 engineering leaders highlights how essential feature management and experimentation tools are for software teams aiming to excel in their field. The survey also reveals that engineering teams struggle without these tools. In particular, just 1 in 6 reported success without the capacity to monitor system performance and user behavior at the feature level.

🛠 Our survey of 500 engineering leaders underscores the critical role of feature management and experimentation tools in helping software teams succeed within the maturing practice. 🙅♀️ However, engineering teams are not succeeding without the right tools in place. Specifically, only 1 in 6 say they were successful without the ability to monitor system performance and user behavior at the feature level. 🔍 Learn what else the survey uncovered and start your journey toward safer, more effective feature management and experimentation: https://lnkd.in/d9hy6bbC #SoftwareEngineering #DevOps 🚀
