06/10/2022, 11:04 AMWith the terminology I chose, I was also thinking about the work of Simon Wardley and others: https://blog.gardeviance.org/2015/03/on-pioneers-settlers-town-planners-and.html

06/10/2022, 11:05 AMyep - one thing I found working with a very traditional bank on an internal platform was how you not only have pioneers, settlers, town planners in your platform team members themselves, but also with the consumers of the platform.

06/10/2022, 11:05 AMthere was a major internal friction point where the platform team was still in pioneering mode, but developer teams that were much more town planners were starting to use it

06/10/2022, 11:05 AMThis is a great point! How did you handle this?

06/10/2022, 11:06 AMwe pushed for the pioneers to move onto a different team and started staffing the platform team with folks who were more aligned with the new users

06/10/2022, 11:06 AMbasically pioneer platformers started moving from “infra-style” platform capabilities into higher order developer items

06/10/2022, 11:06 AMSo, they moved to building more PaaS like functionality?

Nigel Kersten
06/10/2022, 11:07 AMso they moved from relatively vanilla compute/network/storage platform capabilities to things like geolocation and gRPC as a service
