Collecting developer metrics is one thing. Actually doing something with them is another thing entirely. Had a great conversation with @rhein_wein, CTO of @DeveloperXM for @TheLeadDev about focusing on what she calls "improvement metrics," and other tips!

Developer productivity is one of the most debated topics in tech. @DeveloperXM is bringing clarity with its Core 4 framework.
Alongside our partnership, we’re also releasing an updated R&D Reporting Guide featuring DX's Core 4.

At Block, engineering velocity has always been our competitive advantage. But as we've grown to 4,000+ engineers supporting millions of customers across Square, Cash App, Spiral, and TIDAL, we've had to rethink how we maintain startup-level speed at enterprise scale.
Our Head of Developer Experience, Azra Coburn shares how we're investing in developer experience to reclaim over 500,000 hours of engineer time annually through instant developer environments where "everything just works" and AI-powered workflows that can turn months-long migrations into days.

I talk a lot on my podcast and in my newsletter about the correlation between success and an obsession with velocity. So I’ve been on the hunt for a framework that actually helps you measure and increase your team's velocity. I’ve finally found it.
I'm excited to introduce you to Core 4: a unified developer productivity framework from the creators of DORA, SPACE, and DevEx.
Companies like @Vercel, @Intercom, and @Dropbox have already put it in place and have seen great results.
Core 4 is a set of metrics that unifies the principles behind DORA, SPACE, and DevEx, and is co-authored by @AbiNoda (co-author of the DevEx framework), @rhein_wein (CTO of @DeveloperXM), @nicolefv (founder of DORA), @margaretstorey (co-author of the SPACE framework), @mgreiler (co-author of the DevEx framework), and other researchers who've studied productivity with 300+ companies.
The four dimensions of Core 4 are designed to hold each other in tension: you don’t want to increase speed at the expense of developer experience, or spend more time on new features while quality takes a nosedive. These metrics are designed to be used together as a system to provide a balanced look at overall team performance. This is not a recommendation of singular metrics to track, but rather a basket of metrics that must be used together to be meaningful.
Read all about it in today's newsletter post. Link in comment below.
A platform that helps orgs measure and improve developer productivity you should know about is @DeveloperXM
They are also sponsoring The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast - thank you!
Check out more of how they can help your team at https://t.co/zgF0wsdTEd
🚀We're thrilled to announce our new partnership with @DeveloperXM, an engineering intelligence platform, to analyze how Rootly impacts productivity and performance in incident response. We can’t wait to share the findings in a few months!

One key metric for orgs to track:
Self-reported developer satisfaction ✅
Learn how @abinoda, the CEO & Co-Founder of @DeveloperXM, has fine-tuned developer surveys along with quantitative insights to measure productivity & leverage our survey below ➡️ https://t.co/gm50x3WQPM
Sure, big tech companies can spin up flashy "dev experience" programs, but what about everyone else?
This story by @jkriggins featuring Jason at One Medical is such a wonderful blueprint for ANY company aiming to improve devex.

New podcast episode out! 🎙️🔥
Today's guest is Laura Tacho (@rhein_wein), CTO at @DeveloperXM, engineering leadership coach, and speaker.
At DX, she works with hundreds of companies on improving their developer experience and engineering productivity.
During our chat we talked about:
1) 📊 Productivity frameworks — DevEx vs DORA vs SPACE, quantitative vs qualitative data, satisfaction, and how to use metrics.
2) ❤️ Developer Experience — what makes for a good DX: continuous delivery, dev process, code reviews, and more!
3) 📣 Advocating for technical work — formal vs situational authority, starting small, and why engineering roadmaps always fail.
And much more! I absolutely loved this chat.

NEW POST
It's difficult to measure developer productivity, and conventional metrics are often lacking. Abi Noda and Tim Cochran begin a post explaining the role qualitative metrics can play.

Super excited to share my latest research on DevEx. A lot of us know in our bones it's important, but yanno, where's the data to help us show impacts?
WE GOTCHU: https://t.co/q09T7Yu6Mb
shout out to my coauthors @irina_kAl@abinoda Brian Houck @margaretstorey Michaela Greiler
Lovely to be on @abinoda's podcast and chat all things GitHub Copilot, productivity research, ROI, and what the future brings for dev tools 🚀. Give it a listen! https://t.co/LGj8ojGXTs
@meacod What did @meacod do? Did westrum culture survey + engineering specific survey of paper it’s (free text) and cognitive load. There’s a product that helped by @DeveloperXM. Capturing sentiment along with performance is key so you can prioritise, then build a community around ideas.
Join the CEO and Founder of @DeveloperXM, @abinoda, at #DPESummit23 for “The Elusive Quest To Measure Developer Productivity.” Noda will reveal his own lessons learned trying to find meaningful metrics and share a whole new approach that places #DX at its center.
