To start or enhance your developer relations program, you’ll need to work with stakeholders to get and keep their “buy in”, enumerating desired outcomes, and create the measurements, ROI and KPIs, of success. Every developer program needs an execution framework that guides the running of a successful, thriving developer community that benefits your company.
The framework will include a list of program tactics, ROI metrics to support the investment, KPIs to monitor the health of your program, a step by step action plan, and measurement of results along the way to identify course corrections and new opportunities.
This webinar will help developer relations professionals that are starting a new developer program and for those that need to improve their ROI for their existing program.

Agenda:
- Aligning your Developer Program with your Business Strategy
- Ensuring your Developer Program has real ROI(s)
- Tracking your Program’s KPIs

Title: A Gentle Introduction to Developer Personas and Segmentation
Description:
Software developers can be divided in segments based on many factors. These might be how they make their money, who their users are, which technologies they use, or what their motivations are for selecting a particular technology. They may be discovered as they naturally occur through cluster analysis, or they may be pre-defined to fit categories.
This webinar will give attendees a gentle introduction to the elements that go into defining developer personae that are right for a company and its products. Developer Relations and Developer Marketing team members that attend this webinar will start to learn about the advantages of understanding the natural developer personas within your target market and show you the elements that go into defining developer personae that are right for your company and products. Regardless of what you might have heard developer personae are not one-size fits all.
Agenda:
- Why create personas?
- Identifying elements
- After the personas, what’s next?
- Q&A

The value of segmenting your target audience is well known to marketers across industries. Populations don’t exist as a homogeneous group but always have variations that color their perceptions and their adoption of product offerings. The same is true for developers.
Software developers can be divided in segments based on many factors. These might include technologies they use, where they work, what gets their synapses firing, what programming languages they use, what motivates them, etc. Once developer segments are defined, you can start organizing your existing developer community and attracting additional developers to your developer program.
Creating developer personas is one of the first steps to applying more modern developer marketing techniques in a technology world that is more and more individualized. This DevRelate webinar will introduce you to different types of developers.
Agenda
- Developers Wear several hats
- Large and small companies/teams
- Today’s developer
- Platforms, languages, frameworks, tools
- Membership and success
- Motivations, aspirations, worries and fears
- First steps to creating developer personas
- Q&A

by David I | May 9, 2017 | APIs, DevRelate, Webinar |
It used to be that only a very few specialized software companies cared at all about developers – and usually because they were selling programming tools or platforms. Now every company needs to be connected and to work interactively with their clients, their partners, their suppliers, and their customers and to do that they publish APIs. Twenty percent more developers now report publishing APIs for external use than six months ago, for a total of 9.2 million. A recent preliminary report on “The Impact of APIs on Firm Performance” by Boston University Questrom School of Business reports that “API adoption leads to a 12.7 percent increase in market capitalization”.
“Today companies need to be interconnected and to take advantage new innovations. This often means they need to publish APIs and once you publish an API you have a platform. Once you have a platform you need developers, and that means you need a program to support them”, said Janel Garvin, CEO of Evans Data. “We see the proliferation of developer programs throughout all places and industries.”
In this webinar, David gives an overview of how a Developer Relations program participates with an engineering team to inform, educate, and support community members for the lifetime of an API. During the webinar David covers preparations for the release of an APIs, when and if to open up new APIs, types of technical content required for an API, versioning impacts for APIs, and how to help your community members get ready for deprecating and shutting down APIs.

Agenda
- Developer Relations and APIs
- Digital Assets required to support an API
- API release planning
- Dealing with API deprecation and shutdown
- Q&A
