4. In 2018 APIdays Paris, I showed this map and asked: How can we make APIs more widely adopted?
5. Source: Huhtamäki & al. Visualizing the Geography of Platform Boundary Resources: The Case of the Global API Ecosystem Amount of APIs correlates with Global Startup Index and economic growth areas. APIs thrive in cultures where user-centered design is dominant. Mashups combining several APIs require certain amount of co-location and mindset for marketers and developers to co-create.
6. APIOps Cycles users in 2022 APIOps Cycles method is used by banks such as NAB in Australia, and many other companies and public sector. Predominantly those, who have already gone through 1-2 generations of API development and have felt the pain of no or other methods.
7. Hand-written documentation 200 attributes for payload “just because we have them” Sensitive information in URI and Query parameters Why should business know about APIs? How do we know what APIs to build? “Basic auth is just fine” Not validating for OpenAPI definitions These were problems I presented at APIdays 2018, and these are still problems today when not using any methods or governance
8. The rogue API developer (still) doesn’t know there is... A Good Way ✓ and a Bad Way ⛔ of creating APIs
9. Too heavy governance and guidelines
10. Depressing design reviews with more stick than carrot
11. Processes built for individuals doing their bit of API architecture, design, development in their cubicles
12. The results for business? Value: Revenue and benefits Costs: refactoring, missing features, support questions, customer and team satisfaction…
13. But with great methods APIOps Cycles is an openly licensed (CC-BY-SA 4.0) method of lean and business-oriented API development. It promotes collaboration, easy and fast methods that enable business, product and technical experts to collaborate and communicate on new API and feature discovery, reuse and improvements. People become the solution not the problem
14. When creating the method I analyzed common practices for the business, designers, architects and developers compared to API development. Then we piloted various sizes, industries and maturities of organizations.
15. Business models and business model canvases are well known by the business people and designers Some highlights of the method:
16. Everyone hates NFRs so why not make them as easy and business user friendly
17. New improved lifecycle stage specific checklists help avoid the common mistakes and ensure quality The most used part of the APIOps Cycles method - API Audit checkclist Faster to adopt than having to read tons of documentation - partly automatable
18. Let’s make some more dots on the map with the open APIOps Cycles method – for a more sustainable future and more equal growth Lean more at www.apiopscycles.com and www.osaango.academy Learn and support the method development by signing up to the new “Use APIOps Like a Pro!” course Looking for a few pilot companies to try Futudemy 2.0 - free during Q1/2022
