DX

ICYMI: This was a great discussion on how Twilio, DoorDash, and TrueLayer are measuring engineering productivity. Listen to the recording to hear about the challenges these companies have experienced with metrics, what types of metrics they use today, and what they're getting the most value from. 

We've just published the first Tesco Voice of the Developer report summarising the insight and actions gleaned from our inaugural DevEx360 snapshot of 2,000 developers with DX. Over 240 of our teams have identified local action they can take to improve and our platform, tooling and capability teams have been busy digging into the results, doing further user research and incorporating findings into their OKRs. And we'll repeat it all again next month! If you are motivated to make software engineering at scale easier then we are #hiring in my teams in engineering and leadership positions and we'd love to speak with you!

If using GenAI to boost developer productivity is top of mind, join us for this live discussion tomorrow with leaders from Airbnb, GitHub, and Jumio. Our CEO will facilitate a discussion covering: - Current use cases for AI at these companies - How it’s going, and what factors are contributing to adoption or a lack of it - How these leaders are evaluating the value and impact of these tools - Future use cases they’re considering Register here: https://lnkd.in/gmn-Wrcd

We’ll be tuning in to this virtual debate from Gradle Inc. next month on developer productivity metrics. It’s with leaders from Uber, Spotify, Microsoft, as well as our CEO Abi Noda. They’ll discuss topics like: - What are the top level metrics for Acceleration? - What are the top level metrics for Quality?  - How do you measure the impact of AI on developer productivity?  - and much more.

Docebo needed better insights into developer productivity and how the work environment could be improved. The company eventually adopted DX: “We were missing a forum for addressing DevEx problems,” says Marco Vadori. “Engineering leadership was also looking for a better way to capture quantitative metrics like the DORA metrics.” Read about Docebo’s evaluation of different solutions in the developer productivity metrics space, and why they ultimately chose DX to start measuring DORA, SPACE, and DevEx: https://lnkd.in/dRpizBse

One Medical’s strategy for improving developer productivity: remove the ‘paper cuts’ that developers experience in their daily work.    This interview with Jason Kennedy provides an excellent blueprint for any company aiming to improve DevEx. https://lnkd.in/dsQBzhpr

D2L’s platform team uses DX to deeply understand the problems developers at the company are facing in their day-to-day work. In this new customer story, Matt Pinelli explains why they chose DX. Most important, he says, was DX’s qualitative-first approach. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/d_juTgxP #platformengineering

Here's Laura Tacho, CTO at DX, from earlier today discussing driving positive cultural change through developer insights. Developer productivity metrics don't have to be a necessary evil - they can be a necessary good. "Your developers are working in these systems every single day, and they know where the problems and the inefficiencies are" - it's not about finding unknown unknowns; the knowledge is already there. #ctocraftcon
