Engineering Culture Index
Assess the health of your engineering culture via the engineer experience
If you are not measuring your engineering culture, how do you know that your investment in software engineering teams has the fertile ecosystem to yield optimal returns? The Engineering Culture Index is a unique service, providing a means for periodically surveying engineering teams, measuring and benchmarking the engineering culture.
Team Dependencies Matrix
Identify bottlenecks and dependencies, exposing informal flows and structures
Your team isn’t running as quickly and smoothly as you know it could, but why? The Team Dependencies Matrix offers a way to identify the connections and dependencies between people and teams, highlighting any potential bottlenecks and back-channels of communication that may slow down the rate of workflow.
Engineering Ecosystem Audit
Understand how your teams are functioning, relating, and performing
It’s unlikely that your engineering teams are performing to their full potential, why is that? Combining the Engineering Culture Index with the Team Dependencies Matrix, the Engineering Ecosystem Audit provides a deep situational review, giving technical leaders visibility, metrics, and recommendations to calibrate the ecosystem for optimal performance.
Team Topologies Assessment
Design your team structures and interactions for a faster flow of change
Engineering leaders are turning to Team Topologies as a way of structuring teams to support them in faster software delivery. The Team Topologies Assessment offers strategic insight into the team structures suitable for your product strategy, advice on choosing the right interaction modes between teams, and an assessment on readiness for change.
Leading as a team
Building alignment and cohesion in the engineering leadership team
Software engineering teams work best when they are collaborating and delivering as a unit with a clear orientation and purpose. Often, however, leadership teams have conflicting goals and incentives and find themselves pulling in different directions. The Leading as a Team modules help leadership teams to work together as a cohesive unit.
Encouraging fertile human-centric engineering cultures to support the growth of people and profits
“the system that people work in and the interaction with people may account for 90 or 95 percent of performance.”
— Dr. W. Edwards Deming, Out of the Crisis
“Developing our soft-skills and team dynamics to the meet the demands of modern software development is often overlooked in favour of technical expertise.”
— John Durrant
