Measuring and Improving Developer Productivity

Yegor Denisov-Blanch and Simon Obstbaum are experienced tech operators now conducting research on software engineering productivity at Stanford University by ingesting and analyzing the codebases of real tech companies. In this guide, they walk through findings from their research that can be used to make real-world tech org decisions including work models, org structures, and using outsourced teams.

Engineering Work Model Decisions Yegor and Simon can apply their research to help your engineering organization make decisions on remote vs. in-office remote. They can apply their algorithm to help you understand the optimal setup for each of their engineering teams.

Engineering Headcount Decisions Yegor and Simon can apply their research to help your engineering organization understand the most efficient org structures and headcounts for their engineering organization. They can help companies understand the impact of a reduction in force or reorg in engineering.

Development Outsourcing & Tool Selection Yegor and Simon can apply their research to help your engineering organization come to a quantitative understanding of the value of their thirty-party outsourcing and tooling vendors.
