Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Meet Sarah, CTO at startup bright
Her teams build features day and night
But underneath the user shine
Lives infrastructure, tools that bind
She wonders why deployments crawl
And why her engineers install
Third-party fixes every week
The platform's language they must speak

[Chorus]
Platform roadmaps, think like product
User stories for your toolchain construct
Internal customers need love too
Developer experience, make it smooth and new
Prioritize, measure, iterate
Technical debt you can't just wait
Platform roadmaps, product mind
Leave no engineer behind

[Verse 2]
Her database team waits three days
For access tokens, blocked pathways
While frontend devs rebuild the wheel
Authentication they can't feel
She maps these pain points, draws the flow
Identifies where bottlenecks grow
Each tool becomes a product space
With personas she can embrace

[Chorus]
Platform roadmaps, think like product
User stories for your toolchain construct
Internal customers need love too
Developer experience, make it smooth and new
Prioritize, measure, iterate
Technical debt you can't just wait
Platform roadmaps, product mind
Leave no engineer behind

[Bridge]
Backlog grooming for your CI
Sprint planning for your API
Feature flags for infrastructure
Metrics show what teams endure
Onboarding flows for new devs
Self-service portals, no more threads

[Verse 3]
Now Sarah builds her platform crew
Product managers for systems too
They interview each engineering team
Discover friction, fix the machine
Release notes for internal tools
Documentation, clear-cut rules
Her developers ship twice as fast
Platform thinking built to last

[Chorus]
Platform roadmaps, think like product
User stories for your toolchain construct
Internal customers need love too
Developer experience, make it smooth and new
Prioritize, measure, iterate
Technical debt you can't just wait
Platform roadmaps, product mind
Leave no engineer behind

[Outro]
When platforms feel like products shine
Your teams will code in perfect time
