Inputs to gather first

organization structure
developer needs
infrastructure stack

Recommended workflow

Step 1: Research developer pain points and needs
Step 2: Design platform capabilities and interfaces
Step 3: Create golden path templates
Step 4: Implement self-service infrastructure
Step 5: Build developer portal
Step 6: Measure and iterate
