Efficient Platform Manager Course – Platform Engineering, Team Topologies, Technology Strategy & Business Value Delivery

Platform Engineering is not only about technology. It’s more about organising core IT capabilities to work as a Service, fighting Developers Cognitive Load & boosting Application Teams productivity. You won’t do it just by the automation & technology itself – you need to manage way how Core IT works in your Company.

It’s not another one like “write Kubernetes operators” course. It’s about when it makes sense and how to “bring real business value with Internal Developer Platform”.

We will learn practical techniques how to analyse cognitive load, design the Platform Services, select technology fitting your Company; measure the Platform Success & build a business case for Platform Engineering initiative. Course is fully online!

I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of platform engineering. This course offers a comprehensive deep dive into critical aspects of an organization’s process, governance, and culture, with a focus on reducing cognitive load. What sets this course apart is its meritocratic foundation, with content deeply rooted in the author’s extensive experience and knowledge in the field

I had the pleasure of participating in a great course prepared by Krzysztof Hałasa on the management perspective of #PlatformEngineering. I encourage all #CIOs/IT directors to learn more about the concept itself (one of the most important in 2024-2025 according to #Gartner) and, of course, consider taking part in the course

There are five modules in the course

First one is about standardising DevSecOps as a practice – on technical & cultural level, being a foundation for understanding Platform Engineering
Second is about basic Platform Engineering concepts – how is it different than DevOps, what is Operating Model and how can we organize DevSecOps Engineers & Technologies around different topology of teams
Third is about Cognitive Load recognition & Platform design. You will learn analytical techniques to recognize the Developers need & design a Platform, that your Developers will benefit from. I am going to convince you, that technology should be a result of services & operating model design. We will design Platform Services & learn how to select technology & write a backlog so it won’t interrupt business operations And also how to measure the Platform Success with metrics!
Fourth is about mistakes you can make as Platform Manager – and hints how to avoid it from my experience managing Internal Developer Platforms since 2020.
Fifth is about building a Business Case for a Platform – both for Software Companies and internal IT departments. We will review how & whom to sell the very idea of Platform Engineering.
