Level 0 | ICC Capital Hall | Room 2

Engineering is a science, so we know we can't improve what we don't measure. But many ways of measuring developer productivity focus too much on output, and aren’t trusted by developers.
So how should we measure developer productivity, and quantify the impact of processes, tools, Gen AI and culture on the developer experience (DevEx)?
Then, how do you take this data and turn it into something that's actionable and effective? Should we collect quantitative vs qualitative measurements? What about business impact? Cognitive load? Is there a way to measure the maturity of your platform strategy?
Join this panel to learn how from those who have been working with a Platform-as-a-Product mindset for years now. Join Multiverse's (ex-Backstage) Helen Greul, Oscilar’s (ex-GitHub, Netflix) Akshaya Aradhya, DX's Laura Tacho and Syntasso's Cat Morris in this epic panel hosted by The New Stack's Jennifer Riggins.
