Introducing Core 4: The best way to measure and improve your product velocity
- Core 4 is a productivity framework that helps measure and improve product velocity.
- It compiles elements of SPACE, DORA, and DevEx to create more comprehensive metrics that balance qualitative and quantitative measurement.
- The Core 4 dimensions are speed, effectiveness, impact, and quality.
- The framework also balances qualitative and quantitative measurements. Core 4’s recommended metrics can be gathered via self-reported surveys or mined from clean data.
- Core 4 provides benchmarks, case studies, and tips for linking efficiency improvements to business impact and improving team velocity while avoiding burnout.
- The metrics are designed to be used together as a system to provide balanced weights on overall team performance.
- Qualitative insights are combined with quantitative measurements to better understand how teams perform and efficiency metrics can be linked to core business impact metrics.
- Calculating a Core 4 baseline measurement is important for teams to recognize where they are currently at and gather data to track velocity improvements.
- Benchmarking is an important way to contextualize measurements and understand where your team fits within the industry.
- Core 4 can be used to identify friction points in the developer experience and provide specific suggestions to address these issues.
