A Digital Platform optimised for the delivery of Digital Services can be an accelerator for your organisation.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The Equal Experts <\/span>Digital Platform playbook<\/span><\/a> is our thinking on why, when, and how to build Digital Platforms.\u00a0 We have found that, under the right circumstances, introducing a Digital Platform enables an organisation to achieve Continuous Delivery and Operability at scale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our approach is based on first-hand experience building Digital Platforms in a wide range of domains such as Government, Financial Services, Retail and Utilities and our deep expertise in helping organisations adopt\u00a0 Continuous Delivery and Operability principles and practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be competitive, your organisation must rapidly explore new product offerings as well as exploit established products. New ideas must be validated and refined with customers as quickly as possible if product\/market fit and repeatable success are to be found.<\/span><\/p>\n

You might have multiple teams in a brownfield or greenfield IT estate, where your ability to deliver product features is constrained by your technology capabilities. In either scenario, a Digital Platform optimised for the delivery of Digital Services can be an accelerator for your organisation \u2013<\/span> if you can make a multi-year commitment to investment<\/span><\/i>. A Digital Platform isn\u2019t a small undertaking and requires ongoing funding for you to realise the greatest benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is this playbook for<\/b><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve created this playbook to help you and your colleagues build a Digital Platform together. It\u2019s for everyone in your organisation, not just software developers or operability engineers. That includes CIOs, CTOs, product managers, analysts, delivery leads, engineering managers, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re strong proponents of cloud-native computing, serverless in all its forms, microservice architectures<\/a>, and open-source technologies. However, the practices defined in our playbook are technology and vendor-agnostic, to allow you to determine the best way to adopt these ideas in the context of your organisation.<\/span><\/p>\n

What it is about<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is worth noting that the playbook is a game plan in the sense that it is not a recipe for a single activity but an orchestration of a number of ideas that together make up a successful Digital Platform.\u00a0 The playbook touches on topics such as <\/span>What is a Digital Platform<\/span><\/a>, its <\/span>capabilities<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>benefits<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>when to start<\/span><\/a> building one.\u00a0 We have recommended <\/span>principles<\/span><\/a> to adopt and we outline the <\/span>practices<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>pitfalls<\/span><\/a> we\u2019ve identified along our way.<\/span><\/p>\n
