Engineering teams have an opportunity to rethink how they measure performance. Productivity and output metrics alone don’t tell the whole story or inspire action. Even DORA metrics — a widely accepted standard for measuring software development performance — leave out some key insights. In her session, Uplevel VP of product Christina Forney will discuss why prioritization planning and burnout insights are needed to add context to engineering efforts. She’ll share how successful teams are using data-driven insights to not only measure effectiveness but also align priorities and quantify burnout, providing a more comprehensive view of engineering performance.
