Episode notes
Organic Consolidation
- Consolidating different functions under one platform organization happened organically through iterative decisions.
- This was driven by a desire to help other technologists within Thomson Reuters be more agile and innovative.
Separation and Tension
- The platform team intentionally separates service teams (who build and run services) from the enablement function (who market the platform and gather feedback).
- This separation creates healthy tension and promotes continuous platform improvement.
Standardize Tooling
- Standardize your software development toolset and processes.
- This promotes developer happiness and minimizes disparate solutions, allowing developers to focus on customer value.
