Platform Engineering done well: innovation, efficiency, market advantage
Matthew Skelton, CEO/CTO at Conflux and co-author of Team Topologies, will discuss how to get the full benefit from the discipline of Platform Engineering.
'Team Topologies' presented platform engineering with a transformative mission: accelerate value flow by reducing cognitive load for delivery teams. Traditional slow, bloated platforms are becoming obsolete. With the fast flow lens that Team Topologies provides, platform engineers now play a crucial role in fostering innovation, enhancing operational efficiency, and creating market advantage across your organization.
Platform engineering teams can act as a force multiplier by applying product thinking and fast flow principles to internal platforms of all kinds, enabling teams to detect and anticipate opportunities for first-class shared services:
Technology foundations - cloud services, data platforms, AI capabilities
Knowledge resources - wikis, guidance documentation, best practices
Physical and digital assets - shared infrastructure and tools
Teams must extend beyond technology to address the social aspects of innovation and knowledge diffusion. Through techniques like Adapt Together™ and Enabling teams (concepts from 'Team Topologies'), platform organizations transform their position within the company, elevating them from technical implementers to drivers of significant business value.
Discover the transformative approach that helps platform engineering teams reduce cognitive load, accelerate value delivery, and drive significant business advantages across your organization.
