Most people think throwing more tools at developers is better, but that’s not always the case. You should progressively expose tools so as not to overwhelm or confuse API developers as they onboard.

Use this template to quickly map and assess what's in your dev portal at each stage of the DX funnel:

  1. Discovery

  2. Learning

  3. Success

  4. Retention

Learn more about each stage, the conversion metrics and how to improve API onboarding with two courses:
API Fundamentals for Product Managers ⭐️ 4.7/5
API Product Mastery for Experienced PMs ⭐️ 4.8/5
