Talk description
How do API teams fulfill their various users' content needs? What roles populate and maintain a developer portal in differently complex scenarios?
Even as a digital native company, it is not evident to have great user experience on the developer portal. Authoring and publishing does not happen in a vacuum, the flow needs to be adjusted to your company size and culture.
