Duplicate Platform Capabilities

Several teams build similar platform or enablement capabilities in parallel because shared solutions are not trustworthy or accessible enough.

0/5 steps read

archetypes

Locally reasonable use of a shared resource can overload the whole system when access rules, cost transparency, and responsibility are missing.

Why this step:Makes the underlying pattern visible that keeps producing Duplicate Platform Capabilities in everyday work.

diagnostics

A visualization of technical and organizational entanglements that exposes bottlenecks and dangerous coupling.

Why this step:Helps explain Duplicate Platform Capabilities not just descriptively, but in a structurally understandable way.

diagnostics

A method for exposing deliberate blind spots by questioning what, and who, was actively excluded from an architecture decision.

Why this step:Adds a second perspective to the diagnosis so that side effects and limits become visible.

interventions

The physical and logical redrawing of boundaries such as APIs and team structures to drastically reduce friction and handoffs across the system.

Why this step:Derives an initial intervention from the diagnosis that targets structure rather than only the symptom.

tooling

A decision aid for choosing system mapping tools: when to use Miro, Kumu, Backstage, or Vensim — criteria instead of tooling dogmatism.

Why this step:Supports the practical implementation and documentation of the path from Duplicate Platform Capabilities to change.
