The Problem

Engineering leaders can't measure developer productivity objectively. DORA metrics (deploy frequency, lead time, MTTR, change failure rate) require manual collection. PR review time is unknown. Build times increase silently. No visibility into what slows developers down. Google's DORA research proved these metrics matter but no simple tool exists.

The Solution

Developer experience metrics platform that automatically collects DORA metrics, PR cycle times, build durations, and developer survey data — giving engineering leaders actionable insights to improve developer productivity.

Target Audience

Engineering managers measuring team performance, VP of Engineering reporting on developer productivity, and platform teams tracking developer experience improvements

DORA metrics auto-collected from GitHub, GitLab, and CI/CD platforms
