How to accelerate the adoption of your internal platform

Adoption is key for any platform but internal adoption can be tricky. This talk will cover some principles and techniques to expedite the adoption of your internal platform, and discuss two case studies where we used dedicated modernization squads in my last companies: Slack and REA Group.
Talk abstract

One key way to measure the success of any product is adoption. There is no point creating an internal platform if your users don’t end up using it.
