The beneifts and drawbacks on long-ish tenures.

Reflections on running platform teams; establishing alignment within and outside of your group is pivotal in avoiding traps like ownership ambiguity and rushing to build things that generate more bureaucracy.

Choosing a “collaboration model” is often the smallest decision you make when having platform/feature teams work together. Before you go collaboration-model shopping, deciding whether the proposal should be accepted is an important first conversation and has direct implications on the long-term shape, utility, and adoption of the platform. Even after the change, there’s typically more post-change work to be done (think possible breaking changes, on-call, roadmap implications, updating other the components, possibly evangelizing the change etc) that need to be completed.
