The Software Engineering Intelligence Maturity Model
Jellyfish’s Software Engineering Intelligence Maturity Model helps organizations assess R&D productivity across three dimensions: focusing on the right work, aligning to do it right, and executing cost-effectively. It evaluates roadmap planning, R&D impact, predictability, speed, quality, developer experience, capital efficiency, attrition, and resource fungibility. For example, best practices include keeping roadmap effort within 5% of plan, achieving growth rates equal to or greater than R&D spend, maintaining epic cycle times under 90 days, keeping escaped defects below 8%, and minimizing regrettable attrition under 5%. This structured framework aligns engineering with strategy and enables continuous improvement.
