Why

The DevEx function exists to provide leverage to the Product function:

1. Provide operations bandwidth for Product Managers.

   The goal is to help implement an amazing product:

   • Live with the community: contribute to better tuning the product to the users based on their feedback. e.g., engage in technical questions on Stack Overflow, engage in product questions on Reddit.
   • Live in the shoes of users: raise the quality bar of the product by providing critical feedback on product changes. e.g., dogfooding the product.
   • Educate users on the product. e.g., creating docs for AI agents so humans can ask LLMs questions.

2. Provide GTM bandwidth to Product Managers for the open-source/IC audience.

   The goal is to connect the work the product team does to the satellite product functions:

   • Marketing: create awareness of the product, e.g., awareness of the success story.
   • Sales: demonstrate why our product is the best solution to the person’s problem. e.g., build performance benchmarks, gather impactful showcases.
   • Support: solve one-off direct pains people struggle with.
   • Customer Success: solve users’ problems holistically.

More concretely: Key execution pillars

Key execution pillars

At MUI, Developer Experience encompasses both Developer Relations (community and product advocacy) and Documentation. As such, our program is composed of three key pillars—Education, Documentation, and Community—which all connect back to MUI’s core mission: to empower developers to build faster.

• Education: help developers of all experience levels succeed with the products.
• Documentation: provide developers with clear, concise, and thorough reference materials. Our product and its documentation are inseparable.
• Community: cultivate an enthusiastic developer community that learns and grows together.
