I sat down with Adam Rogal who heads up Developer Platform at DoorDash, to get his take on platform teams, developer productivity, and how the two are connected. We covered these topics:

  • The definition of a platform team, and how Adam thinks about them

  • Creating a platform team, and how DoorDash went about it

  • Characteristics of well-run platform teams. Pillars, OKRs, KPIs.

  • Small companies and how they can use platform team approaches

  • Developer productivity at DoorDash

  • My take on what Adam shared, and the differences and similarities in thinking on platform teams with Ganesh Srinivasan, who created the mobile platform teams at Uber which Adam eventually took over
