One of the hardest challenges is following training guidelines and standards. Also finding the right people to join the team. Many on the team are experienced and talented individuals in different fields. #newwesttech

If you offer APIs - make sure they are working and measure what you are delivering. If you are building your app on an API, make sure the API is their business - and works. #newwesttech

Murphy's Law - what can go wrong, will go wrong! And usually when Murphy is out of town! #newwesttech #SoTrue

Onboarding is important - bad documentation, poor code samples are going to turn developers away. Make sure you have a good first impression, examples & case studies, light registration, getting started - TTFHW, documentation and support. #newwesttech

[NW Tech & Business @NewWestTech]

Segment your developers. Who is most important to you? What are their desires and needs? Developers want to know what you are offering, how long is it on offer, how does it work, what support are you offering, how do we WIN together! #newwesttech

[NW Tech & Business @NewWestTech]

It's about apps, hardware, experience (VR), IoT and more. Are you set up to work with developers to build out these. #newwesttech

[NW Tech & Business @NewWestTech]

Find out who the developers are and what they are looking for. What does wrong? Poor communication, too many assumptions, missing information...no win/win. You have to put a program to enable developers to create a big win for everyone. #newwesttech

[NW Tech & Business @NewWestTech]

Where does developer relations sit in your organization? Sometimes product, sometimes marketing, sometimes dev. Doesn't matter, as long as you have a good program. #newwesttech

[NW Tech & Business @NewWestTech]

Developer Relations is a special craft. Lots of jobs opening up. Developer Experience, Developer Relations, Developer Advocate. How do we work with 3rd parties to extend our platform. #newwesttech

[NW Tech & Business @NewWestTech]

Platforms are beating out products. Developers extend your business model. Developers are Innovators, Customers, Extenders, Distributors. #newwesttech

[NW Tech & Business @NewWestTech]

Getting started with @CarolineWIP talking about building developer programs. So you have an API? #newwesttech
