Platform projects, whether on-premise, cloud, or hybrid in nature, generally have two high-level lists: The Must Have’s, and the Nice-to Have’s. Almost each one of these projects, drifting from their original delivery timeline, is due to an imbalance between these two lists.

This is why a Technical Project Management overview is important during the development phase of a platform build. Joining efforts with Product Management, these two units can control the balance between the two lists, ensuring engineering and development efforts are invested appropriately, with minimum drifts into endless rabbit holes.
