Backstage Accelerator Workshop

This workshop is designed to help our clients understand their current strategic and technical challenges, how to achieve their DevEx goals, along with what steps can be taken to alleviate some of these challenges.

Build a Backstage technical foundation

Having a strong technical foundation is critical to any successful Backstage implementation. Thoughtworks has proven expertise in helping clients shape their overall implementation including integration into enterprise tooling, custom plugin development and integration with DevOps and knowledge tools.

Organizational scale and adoption

Having a strong technical foundation is not enough, strong design and UX are critical to the overall success of a developer portal. Solid product management, gathering user feedback, along with a strong inner sourcing model will be keys in an overall adoption strategy. Establishing metrics, resolving developer pain points, and enabling fast feedback loops throughout the software development lifecycle will help to drive adoption across the engineering ecosystem.

Backstage onboarding and support

Working with Thoughtworks Customer Success Engineers, we will help set up productivity goals, set up Backstage, migrate entities to the Backstage catalog and start to drive the internal adoption of Backstage across your organization.
