Savvy organisations are discovering the value of treating their internal platforms as products. But what does it mean to treat a “platform as a product”? What benefits does this give, and why would an organisation adopt this approach?

In this talk, Manuel Pais, coauthor of the book Team Topologies, explains why the platformasproduct approach can be a gamechanger for organisations building and running softwareenabled products and services. Using ideas & patterns from Team Topologies including Thinnest Viable Platform, team cognitive load, and the evolutionary team interaction modes Manuel explains how organisations like Adidas and Uswitch have successfully used the platformasproduct model to accelerate and simplify the delivery of software at scale.
