summary
Platform teams report concrete wins and tactics: measure time-to-provision (weeks → target reductions), translate savings into dollars for leadership, and reverse‑engineer internal billing when telemetry is missing (manual surveys showed 40–50% integration effort). Start product thinking with ~10% of product practice inside engineering, recruit internal champions to evangelize real use cases, prioritize by effort vs. value, and hold a firm northstar vision to avoid overengineering.
