Bridging the gap between the different ways that engineers and managers think about productivity.

Software engineering leaders want their software developers to be as productive as possible. However, it’s not uncommon to hear developers commenting that the systems, tools, and processes that are put in place to improve productivity are actually doing the opposite. 

To unearth where this mismatch stems from, we ran a small developer productivity survey with our dev community to uncover how they are thinking about their productivity.

The results are ones that engineering leaders must understand because shipping meaningful code directly correlates with developer morale and overall performance at work.
