Red Hat Developer Experience Assessment: empower Dev teams

With more organizations seeking to accelerate business outcomes, aligning both platform and developer teams has become an imperative in the changing IT landscape. However, adopting new platforms and processes can be a struggle between developers and platform teams.  

Historically, the perspectives between the platform teams and developer teams have differed. Developers have voiced that the path to platform adoption is too manual, involves too many steps, uses hard-to-navigate tools, and lacks clear guidance or insight into upcoming platform capabilities. This leads to frustration and hinders platform adoption, making it more crucial than ever to focus on the developer experience (DevEx). 

Red Hat® Consulting offers a Developer Experience Assessment to provide the expertise needed to successfully empower your developers, streamline operations, and accelerate application delivery.
