👋🏻 Hi, all! I’m Kendra Skeene, and I’m Senior Director of Product at Ad Hoc - a government consulting company with teams that build platforms for large US government organizations. One thing @Andrew Gunsch and I find ourselves doing fairly often is to paint the picture to the technical leadership of large organizations about why their orgs would benefit from an internal developer platform. We tell you all about it in How to make the business case for an Internal Developer Platform, which is available all day today. Re-examining the application ecosystem from management’s perspective shows priorities that platforms can help with: Security, risk mitigation, governance, cost controls, and increasing focus on delivering business value. In this session, we’ll cover how to: • Make the business case for platforms beyond the technical story • Tie in organizational narratives around standards and governance • Compare the cost of building a platform vs. not having one
