From DORA and SPACE to DevEx

DevEx framework distills the factors affecting developer experience into three dimensions: feedback loops, cognitive load, and flow state. Leaders can select metrics within these three dimensions in order to measure and identify areas to focus on that would ultimately drive productivity improvements. DevEx drives business performance through increased efficiency, product quality, and employee retention.



I found a post on researchgate.net that provides a practical framework for understanding DevEx and presents a measurement framework that combines feedback from developers with data about the engineering systems they interact with. The post explains how DevEx drives business performance through increased efficiency, product quality, and employee retention.

Another post on dl.acm.org explains how DevEx drives productivity and presents a measurement framework that combines feedback from developers with data about the engineering systems they interact with.
