Platform Product Management
Source: content/manual/04-platform-engineering/chapters/01-product-management.md
Purpose and scope
Align platform work to outcomes with a roadmap and measurable SLOs.
Outcomes
- Quarterly themes with success metrics.
- Prioritized backlog tied to DevEx and DORA.
- Transparent stakeholder updates.
Signals of trouble
- Features no one adopts.
- Backlog shaped by anecdotes, not data.
- No clear SLOs for platform capabilities.
Remediation steps
- Define platform SLOs (scaffold time, pipeline success, MTTR).
- Collect feedback (surveys, tickets, office hours) into roadmap.
- Review investment using DORA/DevEx deltas.
