04/07/2023, 5:38 PMHi all - stuck a bit at "show me numbers" to care about productivity enablement & productivity engineering, platform teams.... How should one think of this? I fear that one creates tools, but you need the central team to drive adoption before it is a success. So there is demand for tools, but not an end to end look at improvement. Are there any numbers proving business outcomes to becoming more productive? I remember DORA had some reference, but i can't find it now.. just curious on best quantitative proof to care about engineering productivity.

Then just treat it like a span in an application trace and break down the span into smaller logical units that make sense.
