Does anyone have a or know of a resource for assessing developer experience? I'm thinking this is best done via a survey so hoping someone has some questions handy or if you have other ideas on how to assess, track, and trend this that would be amazing! Thanks all!

Have you seen the SPACE framework? It’s really good and we’ve found it to be a great companion piece to DORA. Here’s a survey we did last year… it was primarily to help us understand where to focus our efforts, on platform level improvements, process improvements, technology, etc. Let me know if you can’t access it, but I think it’s public: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfPlU3oPgcc38cQ5wQnuQrVKocVwcZJ32AvcYHNNtcsp9uAOw/viewform?usp=pp_url

➕ Above I also found GitHub Good Day Project as an inspiration (also revolves around the SPACE framework).

@Rory Scott That first link went to a closed form. Do you have an updated link?

Thank you!

Thank you Sabina, that is fantastic!

Highly recommend getdx.com as a vendor for this. Forsgren & Storey work with them (SPACE authors) and they've contributed subsequent research ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.06352 ) on the topic. We just rolled their thing out at eBay and it's A+.

This may help depending on how mature your current understanding is: https://platformengineering.substack.com/p/a-getting-started-guide-to-establish
