Your Metrics Look Fine. Your Engineers Are About to Quit.

Developer experience predicts what's coming 3 to 6 months before
it shows up in your delivery metrics. So why are most engineering
leaders measuring it last?

In this session, GitKraken VP of Developer Research Jeremy Castile
breaks down what developer experience (DevX) actually is, how to
measure it across 6 key dimensions, and how it connects to
velocity, code quality, and AI impact data your team is already
tracking.

What you'll learn:

• Why DevX is a leading indicator (not a lagging one) for
• engineering team health
• The 6 dimensions of developer experience: productivity, software
• delivery performance, architecture, CI/CD, culture, and
• satisfaction
• Why satisfaction without quantitative metrics is just vague
• feelings, and vice versa
• How to run Voice of the Developer surveys that actually produce
• actionable data
• How GitKraken Insights automatically correlates developer
• sentiment with team velocity, code quality, and AI usage

Forrester research cited in this talk: 74% of organizations
reported improved developer productivity after investing in DevX.
77% shortened time to market. 85% saw revenue impact. These aren't
soft metrics.

The uncomfortable truth Jeremy surfaces: you can have cycle time
down, deployment frequency up, and a major feature shipped, and
still have 3 senior engineers hand in their notice in the same
week. DevX is what tells you that's coming.
