The CTOs Developer Productivity Handbook
Developer productivity encompasses three key areas: efficiency, effectiveness, and experience–spanning critical engineering KPIs like DORA metrics, Business Alignment, and Developer Experience. In this handbook we cover:
Proving Productivity: Why measuring and
working to optimize developer productivity is so difficult.
Productivity Predictors: the metrics and KPIs that illustrate productivity and provide you with a baseline of how to improve.
Accelerating Developer Productivity: a step-by-step overview of how to measure productivity and use the data to set goals, inject automation, and inform conversations with your team.
