How Top Companies Measure Developer Productivity
Top companies like LinkedIn, Pfizer, and Peloton enhance developer productivity by emphasizing developer experience (DevEx). They adopt product principles to identify and alleviate friction in software development. LinkedIn employs surveys, real-time feedback, and system data for insights. Peloton's platform team uses surveys to inform their roadmap, achieving a 60% participation rate. Pfizer, post its Covid-19 vaccine development, focuses on DevEx for rapid innovation, enabling team-level improvements. Research indicates improving DevEx reduces wasted time, retains talent, and boosts business performance, with well-implemented DevEx correlating with higher revenue growth and innovation.
