Course Overview

Most organisations now hold more data about internal developer platforms than they can actually act on. Technology choices around the wider digital and data-driven work agenda are easy to reverse on paper and expensive to reverse in practice. Comparative studies of the digital and data-driven work discipline across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. It establishes a shared vocabulary for internal developer platforms so that teams can disagree productively about it. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this part of digital and data-driven work. Progress on the wider digital and data-driven work agenda is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. They leave able to brief senior management on internal developer platforms in terms that support a decision. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this strand of digital and data-driven work, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the practice within digital and data-driven work rather than a set of notes.
