What problem does it solve?
It helps engineering managers measure and improve team productivity without misleading metrics that get gamed or demotivate engineers.
Core Features & Use Cases
- DORA delivery measurement: Uses deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and MTTR to assess delivery system health and correlate with business outcomes.
- DevEx friction diagnosis: Breaks developer experience into feedback loops, cognitive load, and flow state to find what’s slowing engineers down.
- Business translation: Connects engineering delivery signals to customer and commercial metrics (e.g., reliability reducing support cost, lead time improving time-to-market).
- Anti-pattern guardrails: Avoids common measurement failures like SLOC, raw velocity, and especially using metrics to evaluate individuals.
Quick Start
Ask the skill for a DORA-and-DevEx measurement plan for your team, then tell it what your current bottleneck feels like (for example, slow releases, long lead time, or frequent incidents).
