Let's say your platform team is preparing to launch a new initiative to address a critical business problem. And let's say the stakeholders are reasonably open about the problem or opportunity, and let's say the team has an intuition about the way they can solve it. What can possibly go wrong? Quite a few things! Lack of Real Objectives: Stakeholders may have proposed a solution they perceive as addressing the problem, inadvertently obscuring the actual underlying issue. Lack of Leadership Support: Leadership buy-in is essential for securing necessary resources and overcoming obstacles. Resource Constraints: Limited resources, whether in terms of budget, manpower, or technology, can impede the progress of the initiative. Stakeholder Misalignment: Different stakeholders may have varying priorities and expectations, leading to conflicts and breakdowns in communication. Scope Creep: As the initiative progresses, there may be a tendency to expand its scope beyond the original plan. Resistance to Change: Employees and stakeholders will resist new initiatives due to comfort with the status quo or fear of the unknown. Competitive Pressures: Other teams may propose different solutions to the problem, creating competition and potential conflicts. Insufficient User Research: Launching an initiative without thorough research can lead to solutions that do not meet the actual needs of the users and thus fail to be adopted. Phantom Success: Determining the right metrics to evaluate the initiative’s success is crucial. "Sounds good," but without data-backed success stories, doubts may arise about continued investment in the initiative. Continuous Improvement: Without a commitment to adaptability and ongoing enhancement, the initiative risks becoming stagnant, missing out on valuable opportunities for growth, and ultimately failing to meet evolving needs and expectations. In the workshop, we will explore how clear communication and a structured approach to defining the MVP can help overcome most of these pitfalls. Looking forward to seeing you there! If you are not planning on attending the workshop, but want to know more about this method, leave a comment and I’ll send you the playbook, which I’ve prepared!

I’ll be giving a talk on “Cultural Shifts To Adopt When You Start Your Platform Journey” at PlatformCon24. Let me know what you think!

I attended the DevOpsDays Amsterdam Meetup yesterday evening. And it was a blast. A great location podiumcafe toos Talks by Michael Meelis and William Rizzo about platform engineering. Perspectives from the fields. And afterwards great conversations with the attendees. Love the talks about platform-engineering, the culture and mindset #devops #ITQlife #devopsdays What is your experience about platform engineering, what are you challenges ?

I'm excited to talk about my two favorite topics: machine learning algorithms and technology leadership!
