DX

Announcing our latest partnership with Rootly, an all-in-one incident management platform that simplifies the entire incident response lifecycle. At DX, we’re often asked by customers about the tools we recommend for improving productivity. To provide objective recommendations, we partner with forward-thinking vendors to study and measure the effectiveness of their products. Through our partnership with Rootly, we’ll evaluate their product’s impact on engineering organizations. They’ll offer their customers access to DX’s measurement and benchmarking capabilities.

At Booking.com we’ve recently closed our second developer experience snapshot using DX with over 90% participation rate. These insights come directly from our developers, and help managers and leaders understand the potential investment areas which developers flag themselves. This shows us what developers truly care about in their day to day work and improving those areas becomes a priority for us. Thanks Amos Haviv Leo Kraan Bruno Passos Pankaj S. Zane Wright for working hard and helping make this happen! ??

Tomorrow Abi and Laura are hosting a virtual discussion about the 2024 industry benchmarks for the DX Core 4 metrics. Sign up to hear how companies are performing across key metrics for speed, effectiveness, quality, and impact.?

Benchmarking has always been a key part of the DX platform, and with our latest release, we’ve taken it a step further. The new expanded benchmarks segments provide even more granular insights, helping you and your team better contextualize your performance by tailoring benchmarks to similar industries, company sizes, and engineering roles.

At DX, we recommend using a three-pronged approach to measuring the productivity impact of GenAI tools like Copilot. Here’s how that works: 1. Real-time surveys: This means delivering surveys at key moments (like PR merges) to capture how GenAI tools are being used. 2. Telemetry metrics: Use system-based metrics like deployment frequency and PRs merged. Compare GenAI users to non-users to see if users are seeing a lift. 3. Quarterly surveys: Capture a complete picture of the developer experience, including measures of effectiveness, quality, and impact. Compare the developer experience of GenAI users to non-users.

At DX, we’re often asked by customers about the tools we recommend for improving productivity. To provide data-driven answers, we partner with different vendors to study and measure the effectiveness of their products. With this in mind, we’re excited to announce our latest partnership with Unblocked. Unblocked helps developers better understand their code by integrating with a company’s source code and connecting it with discussions from platforms like Confluence, Jira, Slack, and Notion. Through this partnership, we’ll evaluate Unblocked’s impact on developer productivity and offer their customers access to DX’s measurement and benchmarking capabilities.

DX - Developer Experience is one of the “hot industry buzzwords” at the moment. I think that Abi Noda has done an incredible job advocating for developers, speaking the language of “business” to help executives and non-technical leaders understand the importance of DX. I am a huge fan of the DX product (getDX.com) and Abi’s newsletters. Moreover I’m a massive fan of the team that I’ve worked with over the last few years, as I brought product thinking into Monzo’s platform collective. I’m not just grateful for the partnership but the relationship I’ve built with Greyson Junggren and Erinn Schaal. Thank you to the team at DX for making a brilliant product ??

How a Developer Survey Led Us to Pause Our Portal and Focus on What Really Mattered In fast-paced engineering teams, it’s easy to get caught up building tools you think your developers need. But, without real insights, you might be solving the wrong problems—just like we did. We spent two years building an internal developer portal. It wasn’t until we ran a developer survey that we realized our portal wasn’t addressing the biggest pain points. Turns out, our developers needed faster local development tools, not a portal! This experience taught me a crucial lesson: ask the right questions, listen to your developers, and solve the problems that actually matter. Read the full story here https://lnkd.in/eyJKmSuE.

Despite the prevalence of frameworks like DORA and SPACE, measuring and reporting on productivity is still a difficult challenge for engineering leaders. Later this month, DX's CEO and CTO are hosting a live discussion about the just launched DX Core 4, a unified framework for measuring productivity, and the backstory of how it was created.
