Far too many businesses attack the issue of decreasing velocity and reduced quality in a reactive manner - after an incident has occurred in production or a customer has escalated an issue. Instead, leaders should rely on DevEx and quality metrics as leading indicators of how successful a product rollout will be - these metrics can predict engagement, retention rates, as well as provide clear signals for adoption of new innovations by the end customer. This talk will share stories from the experimentation culture at Netflix and Walmart with a specific emphasis on how every organization can course correct their future delivery by comprehending and acting proactively on these metrics. The talk will define the DevEx and quality metrics, clarify how they are distinct from DORA metrics and will provide insights to the audience on how they can implement these metrics in their own firms.
