Developer Experience Insights

Before you can move the needle, you have to find the needle. Our 6-week discovery program helps engineering organizations measure and improve developer productivity.

MAKE THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE

Do you know what’s going on in your software development organization? When it comes to KPIs such as speed, quality, ease of delivery, and efficient use of time — do you know where you stand?

In our consulting work, we found that the question of "where to start" is often answered with guesswork. To address this, we partnered with leading researcher and tool provider DX to offer our exclusive Discovery License.

This unique program helps us identify improvement opportunities quickly, reducing speculation. Our technical coaching team will apply their expertise to customize an action plan based on your survey results, accelerating desired outcomes.

DORA metrics and pull requests don't tell you the full story. DX captures qualitative insights from across the developer experience to show you exactly what's causing friction and how to improve.
