Policy Development

There are numerous types of policies that influence and impact the enterprise depending on the industries they operation. API policy development is intended to augment and align with existing internal and external policies governing the enterprise, but with a focus on more rapidly evolving the digital resources and capabilities powering an enterprise today with machine-readable artifacts that can help automate compliance in the delivery and sustainment of APIs. API Evangelist provides a wide variety of base API policies that help align the technical details of your API operations with the business details. API policies are designed to connect rules with experience and strategy, providing the provenance and discussion that exists behind decisions made as part of governing API operations. API policies are the bridge between product and engineering by focusing on connecting the following areas across API operations. - **Metadata** - Defining and managing the naming, descriptions, and other language used to define API policies. - **Research** - Conducting the necessary research to inform policy gathering internal and external evidence to support. - **Discussion** - Driving discussion around policies amongst key stakeholders and the relevant domain experts. - **Provenance** - Ensuring there is a trail of information that documents the change and evolution acreoss policies. - **Rules** - Crafting the machine-readable rules that will help inform and automate the governance of API operatons. - **Guidance** - Ensure there is always properly guidance for teams when it comes to each policy being enforced. API policies are how each aspect of API operations is defined, evolved, conducted, as well as potentially going away. API policies are menat to foundational like other policies shaping the enteprrise, but should be faster changing to keep up with the velocity required by API operations. API policies bring visibility to API operations in ways that will make sense to business or technical stakeholders. API Evangelist is the leader in the alignment of the business side of the enterprise with the engineering side of the enterprise, in the service of API operations. API policies reflect our experience standing up API governance programs and talking with leading enterprise groups about what was working and what is not working when it came to APIs. Let API Evangelist talk through some of the most common policy areas like around API metata powering API discovery and onboarding experiences, or maybe versioning and communication to manage better manage change--we know that we can expand your view of what an API policy can do.
