How do you accelerate developer productivity in a sustainable way?

Cloud-native capabilities fuel innovation but also come with complex systems that often evolve organically — which can get a little messy.

In this paper, we look at solutions DevOps and engineering managers can implement at the enterprise level to reduce friction across the software delivery lifecycle and increase developer productivity.

How do we measure developer productivity?

Pushing for higher performance without understanding the root cause of delays is a no-go. Developer productivity metrics should be used to measure impact or identify areas for improvement — not to spur developers to code harder and faster. In this paper, we cover how to use metrics for good.

Where is developer productivity lost?

Developers increasingly report that they are spending less time coding. Inefficient processes are costing developers an undue amount of time — a state of affairs which promises only to worsen with increasing complexity.

More than half of engineers reported delays due to inefficient processes:

How much can productivity tools really help?

We’ve found that it’s possible to save three to four hours per developer on tasks like these each week. For a team of 200 developers, three hours saved weekly is more than 30,000 hours annually — equivalent to gaining the productivity of 15 extra developers, or more than $1.7 million per year.
