What’s inside the eBook
Today, Digital Product Engineering (DPE) is more than just code. It’s ensuring that engineering decisions consistently drive speed, scale, reliability, and business value. Too often, modernization efforts stall or AI pilots fail to scale, while teams get stuck balancing innovation with cost and compliance. This eBook distills Simform’s experience into a clear, 9-objectives approach to DPE: a structured way for decision-makers to align engineering with board-level goals.
Actionable engineering objectives
Assess your current engineering maturity against 9 proven objectives, uncover capability gaps, and apply step-by-step methods to prioritize and execute high-impact initiatives.
Engineering-business alignment
Learn how to translate architecture, platform, or data decisions into measurable outcomes like faster go-to-market, improved customer retention, and optimized cost efficiency.
Engineering progression model
Follow a clear progression model to evolve from tactical, ad-hoc improvements to a disciplined, scalable engineering function that supports continuous innovation.
Proven trade-off frameworks
Use ready-to-apply frameworks to balance speed vs. stability, cost vs. performance, and innovation vs. compliance, so you can make smarter decisions without second-guessing.
Guidance on emerging capabilities
Gain clarity on when and how to adopt AI/ML, data platforms, and platform engineering, and ensure these investments deliver business results rather than stalled pilots.
Lessons from real-world examples
See how leading organizations have applied these approaches to modernize legacy products, reduce downtime, and scale globally without sacrificing reliability.
