Measuring the Impact of Platform Engineering
Panelat Platform Engineering Day NA 2024 · on Tuesday, 2024-11-12· at 12:45· Salt Palace | Level 1 | Grand Ballroom G·
summary
Panel reports developer productivity up in orgs with platforms but finds the surprising counterexample of throughput and stability down in software delivery performance. Practical measures include adoption rates, onboarding count, reduction in steps/complexity, developer NPS and time-to-provision (for example database provisioning dropping from days to self-service minutes). Recommendations: start with a baseline, run user interviews, prioritize teams struggling with Kubernetes, build a dedicated team and treat the platform as a product to create internal champions.
