Platform as a Product

Platform as a Product is an organizational and architectural concept in which a platform is treated not merely as technical infrastructure but as a product in its own right. The platform has clearly defined users (such as product teams, partners, or external customers), explicit product goals, and is actively managed and evolved. This includes product management, prioritization, feedback loops, well-defined interfaces (APIs), documentation, and quality standards. The goal is to reduce cognitive load on development teams, promote reuse, and accelerate innovation by providing stable, well-designed capabilities. Platform as a Product shifts the focus from pure technical enablement to delivering sustained value to its users.
