Developer Portal Lab
Prototype navigation, templates, and golden paths so internal customers actually use your portal.
Beyond branding exercises, we prototype task flows for onboarding service owners, publishing APIs, and requesting environments. The emphasis is on reducing cognitive load for engineers rotating across teams.
Capabilities inside this path
- Persona interviews with two squads and one platform steward
- Clickable wireframes for top three tasks
- Template drafts for service README and runbooks
- Search and taxonomy critique with suggested facets
- Measurement plan for portal adoption
- Handoff notes for your design and internal tools teams
Outcomes teams measure
- Concrete IA improvements grounded in observed friction
- Starter templates teams can copy without asking platform for permission
- Metrics that prove whether changes matter

Questions teams asked mid-flight
No. We prototype flows and templates; engineering teams still implement production systems.
Recent participant reflections
Developer Portal Lab wireframes mocked the environment request flow we ship today. Search facets critique came with examples from our own messy catalog.
