Platform as a Product for modern IT needs
summary
Describes a real IT reorg that applies Team Topologies to build a Platform as a Product offering: maps hundreds of team interactions, consolidates into an internal platform topology, and lands on roughly 10+ stream-aligned teams. Uses Miro for mapping, ThoughtWorks Radar and Gartner for validation, and Unfix guidance for execution. Emphasizes product management, measurable metrics, “good enough for now” iterations, and reports clearer ownership, fewer cross-team blockers, and noticeably better collaboration after rollout.
