20. Section 2. Platform team What it is not: Sysops Close, but no, it might overlapse NO! GOD NO! It's not a team. It's not a person! It's a mindset! Devops Seriously? Are you even paying attention? Gitops Chatops Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again

22. Section 2. Platform team Devops vs. Platform ✓ Why this comparison Method vs a team Remove misunderstanding Culture change X Team? Devops is something the whole company has to do. ✓ Software cycle Both aim to shorten the lifecycle of the software, but they are not the same. ✓ Embodiment Platform enables devops inside a company
23. Section 2. Platform team Sysops vs. Platform ✓ Why this comparison Big difference Easy I'm too old for this shit X Project? No more project orientated work. Instead of a never ending grind we have a product! ✓ No wall As you can expect no throwing apps over the wall and hope the sysops take care of it. ✓ Product! The most important shift!
24. Mind blown
25. Section 3. Platform as a Product • Changes the teams focus Improve on a whole, instead of small bits and pieces • Actually has customers Developers are not colleagues, but customers • Changes the mindset Work like a developer, use the tools of a developer, you are a developer!

27. Section 4. Adoption Without any customers you don't have a functioning product, rendering your effort useless Have a champion If there are people who use it and happy they will convince for you Convince them Or bribe them with cookies Let them help It gives an idea of what they want. Make it easy to use This goes without saying. The platform is there to make developers go faster. Not to make your live easier. Do presentations Sharing knowledge is a very important. Be out there Walk around, talk to be people. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
