VIRTUAL EVENT

Platform as a Product Webinar

26 March 2024 | Webinar

OVERVIEW

There's no value in your platform!

Panel: Jonny Williams, Paul Brown, Adam Clark, Ed Seymour, Graeme Colman

Software creation has been on a transformative journey, from the influence of the agile software movement to the evolution of Product Management as a discipline. This thinking is becoming an increasingly important aspect of building platforms… as products.
 
Jonny Willams, Paul Brown, Adam Clark and Ed Seymour have been building their thinking around how to build value streams into the platforms that are delivering software into businesses. They have released a blog challenging where value is created through platform engineering.
 
Come and hear a panel discussion on how thinking has evolved into defining a framework for platform evolution and adoption, as an open source guide on growing from ideas to delivering value to the business through a journey of understanding the needs of developers, testers, security and lines of business to incorporate into your platform product. Enabling ongoing success in delivering software to the business is the core of product thinking and Platform as a Product.
