Forrester Snapshot: platform engineering is key to reducing time to market

Forrester's Opportunity Snapshot highlights the importance of platform engineering and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) in improving developer experience and overall business performance. Key findings include a focus on increasing efficiency, with 87% of DevOps leaders prioritizing developer productivity and 85% focusing on better meeting customer demand. However, challenges such as pandemic-related issues with onboarding and training, as well as the distributed workforce, hinder developer productivity. The solution lies in IDPs, which enable true developer self-service, reduce bottlenecks, and optimize developer workloads, resulting in improved DevEx, shortened time to market (TTM), and revenue growth. By improving DevEx, organizations can positively impact several key business areas, including TTM, customer satisfaction, and recruitment and retention. The results of the snapshot emphasize the need for organizations to prioritize platform engineering and IDPs to drive business performance and success.
