Internal developer platforms succeed only when engineering teams adopt them. From onboarding and migrating squads to championing the platform and tracking adoption rates, platform product managers and platform engineers need a specific vocabulary. This exercise covers the collocations used in platform adoption strategies, golden path documentation, and DevEx improvement programmes.

The platform team ran onboarding sessions to help new engineering squads ___ onto the internal developer platform.
Onboard onto the platform is the standard platform adoption collocation — new users or teams are 'onboarded' through a structured process of enablement and configuration. 'Migrate' implies moving from a legacy system; 'switch' and 'move' are informal. 'Onboard' is the precise term for the initial adoption experience, covering setup, training, and first-use support.

The infrastructure team coordinated a workstream to ___ twelve engineering squads from self-managed Kubernetes to the new platform.
Migrate teams to the platform is the standard platform adoption collocation — teams are 'migrated' from existing infrastructure to a new platform as a structured engineering project. 'Move' and 'switch' are informal; 'transfer' implies moving data or assets. 'Migrate' is the canonical verb for the planned, risk-managed process of moving workloads or teams to a new platform.

The principal engineer volunteered to ___ the new CI/CD platform across the organisation by running lunch-and-learn sessions.
Champion the platform is the natural internal platform adoption collocation — platform champions are engineers who actively advocate and demonstrate the platform's value. 'Promote' implies marketing; 'support' is passive; 'advocate for' is also used. 'Champion' implies visible, proactive sponsorship that influences peers to adopt the platform.
4 / 5
The platform product manager used a weekly survey to ___ adoption rates and identify squads that needed additional support.
Track adoption rates is the standard platform product management collocation — adoption is 'tracked' over time to understand uptake trends and identify laggards. 'Measure' is the act of capturing a specific data point; 'monitor' implies watching for anomalies; 'check' is informal. 'Track' implies continuous visibility into how adoption evolves over the rollout period.

The DevEx team created a golden path to ___ new engineers onto the platform with minimal friction.
Onboard engineers onto the platform is the standard platform DevEx collocation — golden paths and paved roads are designed to 'onboard' new users efficiently. 'Guide' and 'introduce' are steps within onboarding; 'bring' is informal. 'Onboard' is the precise term for the complete first-time experience of getting a new user productive on a platform.
