Metrics that matter pt. 3

The developer productivity metrics you should measure.

This next metric is an important one.

Developer sentiment

Now…

This isn’t some touchy-feely nonsense metric. Developer sentiment is far more than that.

It is a measure of how satisfied and productive a developer feels they are.

There are many facets to developer sentiment, here are a few:

  • ease of workflow
  • confidence in quality
  • ease of testing
  • tech debt pain
  • predictability
  • trust in action

These are all incredibly valuable to measure and will shed a bright light on your developer experience efforts.

A simple and well-designed developer survey can provide these insights.

This is a more nuanced metric that will show you more than DORA can alone.

But it will open a lot more opportunities to improve your engineering organization.

Best,

Andre
