AWS Partnership Operating System: A Portfolio Approach [ukr]
Partnership with AWS almost always starts with resistance: “it’s bureaucracy,” “we don’t have time,” “it doesn’t add product value.” In this talk, we’ll show how we transformed AWS programs (FTR, Ready, Delivery, Competencies) into a managed operating system for working with a portfolio of projects. We’ll break down how we gained support from both the business and engineering teams, how we aligned on priorities, and how we translated expectations into clear artifacts: evidence packs, templates, KPI formats, business outcomes, and enablement materials. We’ll explain how roles and ownership are structured, what operating rhythms we use, how quality gates and case selection criteria work, and how we respond to Amazon feedback like “be more specific” so that each next submission becomes stronger and faster.
