Run a Platform-as-Product Quarterly Review for a 40-Squad Org
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Define the platform's 8 products (CI service, golden-path templates, observability stack, secret management, namespace provisioning, on-call tooling, internal portal, paved-road Helm charts). Collect 4 weeks of usage telemetry per product (adoption rate, weekly active users, NPS from in-product surveys, ticket volume). Design a 2-hour quarterly-review format: per-product 5-min snapshot, 3 strategic questions, voting on invest/deprecate priorities. Facilitate with 40 squad tech leads (in-person + remote hybrid). Publish a 5-page outcomes memo with named top-3 invest + top-3 deprecate decisions and the platform team's commitments. Deliver telemetry dashboard, facilitation plan, live artifacts, and the outcomes memo.
