Stakeholder Model

Likely internal counterparts

The operations handbook uses consistent owner labels so planning stays readable. This page maps those labels to the most likely internal counterpart functions that would need to participate in Builder Insights operationalization.

How to use this page

  • translate handbook owner labels into likely internal partner groups
  • prepare stakeholder outreach with a more concrete starting point
  • validate assumptions before treating these labels as final org truth

Decision

Important caveat

These are suggested internal counterpart models, not confirmed org assignments. Use them to start the right conversations, then replace them with actual team names and named owners once alignment is confirmed.

Suggested internal attendee list for operationalization work

Identity and access stakeholders

Bring these groups in when decisions affect workforce sign-in, org-aware access, or privileged operations.

  • Okta or IAM owner
  • security engineering representative
  • Builder Relations operations lead
  • application engineering lead
Hosting and telemetry stakeholders

Bring these groups in when decisions affect Kanopy, deploy posture, or observability.

  • Kanopy or internal platform owner
  • internal observability or telemetry owner
  • application engineering lead
  • security engineering representative when needed

Validation questions

  • which team actually owns workforce identity decisions for apps like this?
  • which internal system is treated as the org truth for Builder Relations membership?
  • which team owns Kanopy onboarding and runtime standards?
  • which team owns the approved telemetry stack for internal apps?
  • who can approve privileged-access exceptions and review them later?

Suggested engagement sequence

1. Start with product and Builder Relations ops

Begin by confirming the operational problem, the rollout goal, and the need for an authoritative Builder Relations access model.

2. Bring in IAM and security

Once the need is clear, validate the workforce identity path, trusted claims model, and privileged-access posture.

3. Bring in platform and Kanopy owners

After the identity direction is clearer, validate hosting assumptions, ingress posture, and internal runtime boundaries.

4. Bring in observability owners

Once hosting and ownership shape are clearer, validate telemetry stack expectations, dashboard ownership, and audit visibility.
