How do you prevent metrics from feeling like big brother or big sister is watching, and open opportunities for conversations around coaching?

I asked Rebecca Yang, VP of Engineering at Clearbit, a 🔑  question around developer productivity metrics. We think about transparency around engineering efficiency constantly at Tara AI, as we design and build with our customers.

Spoiler alert: so much can be uncovered through data, that may be hiding in plain sight. Data and conversations with psychological safety, can be powerful in unlocking team happiness and performance.

More 💎's shared during our panel on developer productivity and what metrics matter. Full panel video in comments below!

Our customer panel at Tara AI went off with a bang this week, at Plato Elevate. 

Here's what we uncovered through an in-depth discussion around developer productivity, and what metrics matter with engineering leaders at MongoDB, Clearbit and Legion. 

➡ What's important to measure and why, as we move from agile to space to developer experience, as an industry.
➡ Turning metrics into opportunities for coaching. Addressing the "big brother" elephant in the room.
➡ How do you tie developer productivity, back to business outcomes like lift in revenues.
➡  In the age of optimizing budgets and cost, does a good developer experience necessarily mean a better product? Is there space for conversations around developer experience, in a possible recession?
➡ Outcomes experienced with a metrics driven approach with Tara AI as a platform.

Rebecca Yang, Lila Brooks and Tanvi Shah, thank you for what attendees called, a "spicy" and no holds barred discussion. 

Video is out next week! Stay tuned.

We're at Plato Elevate today, running a panel with our customers at MongoDB and Clearbit, at 11:40 am on developer productivity.

Catch me with: 

 ➡ Lila Brooks, Engineering manager at MongoDB
 ➡ Rebecca Yang, VP of engineering from Clearbit
 ➡ Tanvi Shah at Legiontech

We'll be answering hotly debated questions around: should you measure developer productivity, and if so, how do you approach it with a coaching mindset? How are teams finding the most impactful metrics, and how do you go beyond arbitrary (and frankly useless) measures like lines of code?

Excited for our upcoming panel at #ElevateConference 2023: “How we do Developer Productivity at Clearbit, MongoDB, and Legion Technologies."
🔥

Iba Masood, Co-founder & CEO of Tara AI, has put together a stellar, women-only panel:
🔹 Lila Brooks, Engineering Manager at MongoDB
🔹 Tanvi Shah, Director of Engineering at Legion Technologies
🔹 Rebecca Yang, VP of Engineering at Clearbit

They will be discussing how they are tactically working through improvements in productivity, engineering impact and developer experience.

A huge shoutout to Tara AI, our sponsor, who is at the forefront of engineering workflow automation, streamlining team outputs and obviously...increasing developer productivity!

With a data set of millions of pull requests synced into our system, we're thrilled to introduce Benchmarks to help teams quickly know where they are blocked and how their cycle time stack ranks against other fast-moving teams! 🚀 

Our Benchmarks feature calculates the average of all the ‘time to merge’ values within a specified range and lets you how your team performs compared to others.

By looking at Benchmarks, teams can establish baseline #productivity and identify the strengths or areas of improvement.
