How to measure your platform engineering impact

Learn how to measure the success of your platform engineering activities by aligning your goals with your business goals and how to capture success metrics for continuing support and buy-in.

Quantifying the impact of DevOps and platform engineering on an organization is notoriously hard. This is particularly true when such a practice is not yet matured, or the organization is undergoing transformation. In this talk, we present several strategies on how to explain the platform engineering value by aligning it with business initiatives and goals. As an added consequence, we highlight its value-creating function rather than being a mere cost center. We give several concrete examples and metrics beyond DORA/SPACE that can be used to measure ROI and demonstrate impact.
