Non-Technical Challenges of Platform Engineering
summary
A practical guide to non-technical platform work that claims discovery, continuous user interviews and event storming cut wasted duplication and reveal real onboarding pain. It prescribes a technical vision captured with C4 diagrams and architectural decision records, a Lean value tree strategy plus a prioritization math of weighted shortest job first, and service design for one‑click onboarding and observability. Examples focus on platform rollout, stakeholder alignment, measurable goals and making the platform actually used rather than just built.
