So, you’ve started tracking your software development productivity and you’re on your way to stellar performance and better ROI…🤑📈
…but, did you know?
How you track productivity can make or break your software teams.😬

A common mistake that software managers make is focusing on individual engineers, especially when productivity scores are tied to rewards or incentives.🏅💰

Why is this a problem?

When rewards are at stake, focusing on individual engineers can actually lead to competition rather than cooperation. 🤼

It might also lead to dishonest behavior, like gaming metrics.
This can erode trust within the team and lead to worse-performing teams over time. 😥

Tracking your engineers’ productivity may seem like the best place to start–and it often is–when handled correctly.

Our suggestion?
👉Focus on your teams as a whole.

So, if you’re planning on using rewards or incentives, make them team based.

Additionally, rather than focusing on your star players, identify which team members need more support. Use your insights on individual engineers to improve team performance in an informed and holistic way.🙌

Remember, when your teams win, you win.

With the dark cloud of recession hanging over tech, mass layoffs and the mess of big tech giants shelving R&D projects to cut costs, you might have missed the silver lining for tech heading into 2023.🙃

Beyond the more attention grabbing developments in tech over the last few months, companies across the board are pushing hard to secure their IT and software assets in preparation for a prolonged economic drought.📉

We’re seeing leadership in tech and software pushing hard to secure key advantages like top-flight talent, skills-development as well as new and emerging technologies.🛠

One of those areas of focus is investment in AI and automated analytics tools to boost productivity, efficiency, and reduce waste. 📊💸

This dedication to productivity and performance, comes at a time when staying competitive is every bit as valuable as reducing operational costs.👌

CEOs across the board are pulling back on investments and expenses in preparation for a recession.....but sometimes, you've got to invest to secure your future.😬💸

Looking back at the Great Recession of 2008, one of the key factors that set current leaders in tech on the path to success, was their focus on securing productivity in the face of adversity. 💪

Studies over the last decade have shown just how important maintaining productivity and efficiency have been for staying competitive during economic downturns. 💸📈

Check out our tips for tech and software executives here👇

Preparing for a recession doesn’t always mean cutting projects or people. The right metrics can help you stay competitive at a lower cost. Here’s how.

In the face of economic turbulence, many business go on the offensive, slashing budgets and reducing spend to conserve cash flows…💸
…and sometimes, they can cut a little too close to the bone.😬🔪

With rising supply costs, energy bills and the cost of talent soaring, aggressive cost-cutting can be a great idea, however, some spending is necessary to avoid business damage and to remain positively positioned in the market. 💰📊

At times like this, IT and Development budgets can really feel the stress.

One reason for this is the difficulty of communicating how IT investments connect to positive business outcomes. 📊💹

With the right metrics and KPIs on hand, CIOs and CTOs can effectively communicate just how IT and development investments are being used and how they impact performance in their software teams.

Sharing this knowledge can help tech and business stakeholders come together to identify technical areas of the organization where budget cuts may be more less risky than others.👌
