Measuring Developer Productivity with the DX Core 4
Summary
Despite the prevalence of frameworks like DORA and SPACE, measuring and reporting on productivity is still a difficult challenge for engineering leaders. Join this discussion with Abi Noda (CEO @ DX) and Sridhar Ramakrishnan (Senior Director, Developer Experience & Productivity @ Slack) to learn about the just launched DX Core 4, a unified framework for measuring productivity–from the boardroom to frontline managers–and the backstory of how it was created.
The DX Core 4 has been developed through practical experience helping organizations like Netflix, Block, and Dropbox, and through the ongoing developments from the DX research team, which includes Nicole Forsgren (creator of DORA), Margaret Anne Storey (creator of SPACE), and others.
