Key features

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) driven delivery model

KPIs measure the success of the collaboration and they are created jointly by Tietoevry’s Platform engineering team and customer. KPIs are linked to Customer’s strategic goals making it possible to continuously evaluate if the team is creating impact from the long-term perspective. KPIs are followed actively and utilized throughout the service. They are also a concrete way to measure and communicate the value delivered by the service.

Scalable Platform Engineering team

Platform Engineering service is based on FTE and team model that enables the establishment of a core team which guarantees stability and effective knowledge management. In addition to having the core team, the scalable model also allows the temporary engagement of niche skills or quick scaling if requirements change. The model is based on rolling quarterly ordering cycle.

Short- and long-term planning to reach business goals

Our approach combines long-term planning with detailed short-term incremental planning to ensure that we consistently provide value. Stakeholders are interviewed at regular intervals to understand pain points and bottlenecks to decrease the cognitive load of developers and increase developer productivity. This way we can also ensure the reliability of the platform from development to operations and share knowledge between teams.

Transparency through shared backlog

Backlog is the most important tool in the service for prioritization, transparency, and governance. Shared backlog ensures that all stakeholders are aware of what activities are in progress and different teams can efficiently communicate directly through the backlog.

Collaboration and commitment

Joint planning, tools and communication channels are crucial in facilitating active cooperation, communication, and agile methodology. Tietoevry’s platform engineering team promotes positive behaviors such as openness, trust, communication, and commitment towards set goals.

Customer-centricity and data driven lean development

This involves understanding the needs of customers and creating solutions that solve real problems and create real value for the customer. Measurement of different metrics in a distributed system is critical for evaluating its success. Without measuring, the success of practices cannot be quantified. Measuring also makes failures in systems visible, promoting the idea that effective operations are the responsibility of all teams.
