API Strategy & Practice Conference 2017

The idea of designing an API first, then having both the publishing developer teams and consuming client developer teams do their work in parallel is a pattern that the standards & tooling of the Open API ecosystem make worth considering. However, this approach is not without its challenges especially when it comes to governance and communication.

This session will present a real-world case study where this approach was executed successfully, going over how the work, teams, and deliverables were structured and presenting lessons learned that will be useful to anyone else considering this working model.
