State of DevOps Report Finds Platform Teams Lacking Product Management Support
Summary
Nigel Kersten, Field CTO at Puppet summarized the key conclusions of the report: This focus on product management is a core tenant of effective platform engineering. Daniel Bryant, Head of Developer Relations at Ambassador Labs, predicted that "a lot of folks will not appreciate the benefits of a good PM and will instead power ahead with simply building things". The report concluded that organizations that "explicitly focus on team interactions, developer experience, feedback loops, and product management will leapfrog those who do not." However, the report found that the top priorities for the platform team over the next 12 months aligned very closely with the skillset of product management. This includes increasing the awareness of the platforms capabilities, setting realistic expectations for the teams role, and better aligning to industry trends.
