When engineering productivity is declining as the company scales and there is no dedicated platform function.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Platform Engineering Roadmap. # Context Original working context: - Act as a platform engineering lead. My company has {{number}} engineers and {{number}} services. Current pain points: {{describe}}. Build a 12-month platform engineering roadmap: - Step 1: audit current developer experience and identify the top 5 pain points by impact. - Step 2: design the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) capabilities to build: golden paths, self-service infrastructure, centralised observability, developer portal. - Step 3: prioritise by impact and effort, and design the first quarter's deliverables in detail. # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

Platform engineering should be measured by developer experience metrics — time-to-first-deployment for new engineers is a powerful north star.
Debug this problem systematically. Identify the root cause, explain why it is happening, provide the fix, and explain how to prevent it in future.
