Research by Jellyfish shows declining operational effectiveness as engineering teams continue to feel the crunch.
This was a year unlike most, as the sobering reality of an economic downturn has influenced the way engineering management prepared for the coming year, and it’s impacting developers across the globe.
Every year, the Jellyfish Research team analyzes data from its Engineering Management Platform and conducts a survey of engineering leaders across North America to better understand the current state of engineering management.
This year’s research uncovered some of the hardships that engineering teams face. The dataset included an analysis of the work of thousands of engineering teams, with the intention of better understanding three main areas:
- Where are engineering teams investing their time?
- What challenges are teams facing on an operational level?
- Are there notable differences in behavior between underperforming and overachieving teams?
This year’s research showed that teams are being asked to do more than ever with fewer resources, and it’s already impacting productivity.
