Jellyfish CTO: Feelings aren't facts and why DORA doesn't cut it

We sat down with Eli Daniel, Head of Engineering at Jellyfish, to discuss how important measurement is to engineering effectiveness—and culture. By combining quantitative and qualitative data points, engineering leadership can better articulate the entire team’s impact on the organization.  Topics discussed in this episode: * Productivity metrics provide objective data to measure team performance and inform decision-making. * The right metrics depend on the goals and context of the organization. * Start by collecting the metrics you have and focus on understanding where time is being spent. * As organizations scale, metrics should focus on alignment and resource allocation. * DORA metrics are a good starting point, but they don't tell the whole story. * Balancing quantitative and qualitative metrics provides a more complete picture of team performance. Jellyfish is a platform that helps engineering leaders translate and maximize the business impact of their teams. To learn more about Jellyfish, visit https://jellyfish.co/ [https://jellyfish.co/].

The Secret to DevEx: It’s better to whole-ass one thing than half-ass two

Why your data isn't showing the changes needed for success… We sat down with Laura Tacho [https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratacho/?originalSubdomain=at], CTO of DX [https://getdx.com/], to break down where measuring developer productivity falls short. Laura shares how organizations should aim to balance making decisions based on both quantitative and qualitative data. Humans are not machines and numbers only go so far. She goes further and encourages companies to collect accurate qualitative data, avoid misalignment with leadership, and improve company culture. Join us as we discuss: * Understanding the ‘Why’ behind your metrics * A framework for balancing quantitative and qualitative data * Using metrics that best fit your current status (probably not DORA)

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
