DeveloperWeek 2023

Arisa Amano, CEO/co-founder, Internal

“We need to build an internal tool, but with what resources? How are we going to fit it into the roadmap? What's dropping from the roadmap?” are questions that product managers face when allocating resources for their roadmaps. For internal tools, oftentimes the answer is to build, but potentially at the cost of a customer-facing, revenue-generating product. Whether it’s an admin panel to manage user accounts or a refund management tool, how much resources and time are spent on features that customers will never see?

In this session, we’ll cover the opportunities and trade-offs of building internal tools and show you how to build tools that will help internal teams work more efficiently. You’ll learn how to build, scale, and maintain tools that empower cross-functional teams to operate without jeopardizing your roadmap.
