Abstract

Everyone seems to be talking about measuring and improving developer productivity… but do we even know what that means? (Protip: you can’t just count lines of code.) Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present her latest research on developer productivity: common myths, the dimensions (captured in a handy acronym, SPACE), and example metrics.

You’ll also get pointers on how to implement the framework in your own team and organization… because the right path to productivity is one that helps us do impactful work in sustainable ways.
