To increase developer productivity, think holistically

Thinking holistically: DX founder Abi Noda on a better way to measure developer productivity

In this episode, Mike Kavis talks with DX founder Abi Noda about how to better measure developer productivity. Abi believes traditional output metrics don’t tell whole the story. Instead, he says conventional metrics should be paired with those that track organizational, environmental, and cultural factors—all of which are included in the emerging discipline of developer experience, or DevEx. The pair also discuss the use of Generative AI for development and how it factors into productivity.

The biggest lever for improving engineering operational excellence is the operating model, It is the tools and processes.

Abi Noda is the founder and CEO of DX, an engineering intelligence platform designed by leading researchers. Abi is focused on helping leaders measure and improve developer productivity. Prior to founding DX, Abi held CTO roles at several companies and was the founder and CEO of Pull Panda, which was acquired by GitHub in 2019.
