This bootcamp gives you a practical, end-to-end understanding of modern platform engineering and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). You will begin by exploring the fundamentals of platform ecosystems—user needs, value streams, feedback loops, and organisational constraints—and then progress to advanced topics such as platform pattern languages, DSRP systems thinking, flow optimisation, and designing safe, incremental change.

Through hands-on mapping sessions, you will build real artefacts such as Wardley Maps, OODA loops, 3-axis value-flow maps, and future-state capability designs. You will gain practical experience analysing your own organisation’s delivery landscape, identifying friction points, and shaping platform improvements that developers will actually adopt.

By the end of the bootcamp, you will have a clear understanding of how to design, evolve, and communicate a platform as a product. You will be able to articulate user needs, reduce cognitive load, shape feedback loops, and create a value-aligned roadmap that balances autonomy, governance, and reliability.

You will be well-prepared to contribute to—or lead—platform engineering initiatives in cloud-based or regulated enterprise environments, and to engage confidently in discussions about platform strategy, developer experience, and internal platform architecture.
