Measuring Engineering Productivity
SMRTR summary
Engineering productivity can be measured effectively without burdening developers, using a system that emphasizes management overhead over engineer time. The approach combines daily async standups, weekly changelogs tracking GitHub contributions, manager 1:1s for context, and real-time deploy verifications to create visibility into team output and progress. This measurement framework focuses on creating a high-cadence culture rather than punitive metrics, helping identify patterns and problems early while maintaining trust through transparency.
