Your board doesn’t want to hear engineering updates based on anecdotal evidence. They want concrete data that shows how Developer Experience and engineering throughput drive business impact. Engineering leaders know DevEx is a key driver of productivity, efficiency, and retention. But how do you translate DevEx investments into metrics that resonate with the board? Join us for a 35-minute workshop* where we’ll walk you through the slides and cover how to communicate your impact in terms that resonate with engineering execs, C-level leaders, and investors. In this board deck masterclass, LinearB CTO Yishai Beeri will cover: ? ???? ????????????: Quantify the impact of your AI investment and understand the downstream effects on DevEx and productivity. ? ?????????????????????? ???????????????? ????????????????: Understand whether your developers are focused on the correct stories, tasks, and work items. ? ?????????????????? ????????????????????????: See if DevEx initiatives are helping your engineers move faster, deliver higher quality code, and improve satisfaction. *All registrants will receive a copy of our brand new CTO Board Deck Slides, sign up today! ??

DevEx and Platform Engineering teams are leading the AI-driven transformation of the SDLC. However, engineering teams' reality has fallen short of AI's promise. As teams move to adopt AI, agentic workflows, and assistants, developers are becoming overwhelmed by a surge in manual code reviews caused by the very technology that is supposed to make them more productive. Today, we’re giving DevEx and Platform teams the tools to fix this, at enterprise scale. We’ve just released a series of AI workflow orchestration solutions, including a full AI code review. But why do AI code reviews with LinearB instead of <fill in the blank>? 1.) LinearB’s data connectors extend across your toolchain, which means you can leverage data beyond your repos and use it to power your workflows with unprecedented context. 2.) LinearB's YAML-based editor gives you control over orchestrating AI. You can write the rules for when to apply AI—whether it is a single agent reviewer that does a full code review or a complement to your existing workflows, such as using AI to summarize a pull request. With control comes the ability to ensure compliance while increasing productivity. No more trade-offs. 3.) LinearB works with most AI tools on the market and can provide orchestration, compliance, and visibility no matter what AI solution you choose. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Our mission is to ensure teams can adopt AI-driven workflows that actually improve productivity by keeping them fully in control. Learn more about how we do it here: https://lnkd.in/d8nczNF6

There’s one quick way to kill productivity.? Ignore developer experience. Too many engineering leaders focus on tools, processes, and headcount without asking whether their teams can actually get work done. Here’s what gets missed: - More developers ≠ faster delivery. Especially when ramp-up time and domain knowledge are underestimated. Adding bodies to a late project often slows it down. - Process overload is real. Endless meetings and status updates disrupt deep work and leave developers fragmented and drained. - Agile isn’t the problem… but how we implement it might be. Micromanaging sprints, planning months ahead, or using Agile as an excuse for chaos undermines its core principles. - Context switching kills focus. Deep work needs time and space; pinging developers every hour makes real progress impossible. - Metrics can lie. Counting tickets closed doesn’t reflect quality, innovation, or technical debt management. Not everything that matters fits neatly into a dashboard. The common thread is developer experience is productivity. When leaders ignore that, they risk burnout, attrition, and slowing the delivery they aim to speed up. What if we focused less on the process and more on people? Simplify. Trust your experts. Create the space for them to do their best work.

Engineering is NOT a cost center. It's your biggest value driver. The most successful organizations understand that engineering should be viewed as a strategic investment that demands regular evaluation, alignment, and optimization. Habits 7 and 8 from our latest whitepaper highlight the importance of Engineering Business Reviews (EBRs) and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) as key rituals for ensuring engineering profitability. By leveraging resourcing, investment data, and capitalizable projects, engineering leaders can: ? Align stakeholders on investment strategy and business priorities. ? Maximize engineering ROI by identifying cost efficiencies. ? Ensure every project aligns with overall business objectives. When engineering and business stakeholders share a common language and data-driven insights, strategic decisions become clear, and profitability follows. Discover eight core engineering habits that will help you improve developer productivity and build a data-driven culture in our 8 Habits of Highly Productive Engineering Teams whitepaper: https://lnkd.in/gnsqHJKw

30% of your PRs could be automated today. So why are your developers still stuck reviewing them? If you’re already tracking engineering metrics, that’s a great start. But metrics alone won’t fix workflow bottlenecks. There’s a simple, repeatable formula high-performing teams are using to cut friction and free up developer focus: 1. Find the friction - Code reviews, CI/CD, dev workflows, where’s the real slowdown? 2. Automate the obvious -?Repetitive, low-risk tasks like docs, tests, and standard updates drain time and attention. Remove them, and you unlock flow. 3. Track what changes -?DORA metrics like cycle time show whether you’re moving the needle and where to double down. Small, consistent wins compound. Over time, you’ll reduce cognitive load, speed up delivery, and give your devs more time for the work that matters. The graphic is from LinearB's guide: The 8 Habits of Highly Productive Engineering Teams.
