Stanford Research: Measuring Software Engineering Productivity

Introduction
"Effective decision-making in software organizations relies on good data: you can’t improve what you don’t measure. Current ways of measuring software org productivity are flawed and may encourage counterproductive behavior. We propose a new approach to measuring productivity, developed through years of Stanford research."

The DPE Conference

The Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE) Conference is dedicated to advancing methods and tools that improve the productivity, performance, and well-being of software developers. DPE focuses on transforming the way engineering teams work by tackling bottlenecks, enhancing workflows, and providing metrics that support more efficient development processes.

This year’s DPE Conference featured:

• Two days of intensive learning with 37 sessions from industry leaders and pioneers in developer productivity.

• Speakers from top tech companies such as Airbnb, LinkedIn, Uber, and others, sharing insights on cutting-edge tools and practices that fuel high-performing engineering teams.

• Practical sessions addressing critical areas in software productivity, from build and test optimization to developer experience and tooling for continuous integration and deployment.
