Why does improving Engineering Performance feel broken?
- Improving engineering performance is essential for all teams. Engineering performance review is to analyze how teams, systems, and workflows efficiently contribute to delivering software.
- Engineering reviews found invaluable to achieve Continuous Improvement, Accountability, Alignment, Celebrating Wins, and Visibility.
- At scale, processes that worked informally begin to break down, creating frustrations for both leadership and teams. What once enabled quick collaboration now feels like a painful exercise in the blame game or either an exercise in vanity metrics.
- Engineering reviews come up short because the process itself feels disconnected from the teams it aims to serve, and are painful and unfair out of the box, rely on sporadic code instrumentation or custom database queries.
- Engineering leaders can transform reviews into a collaborative, empowering process by treating engineering teams like customers and engaging as co-creators.
- Propose frameworks, compliance standards, or engineering performance tools as means to an end-not as rigid mandates. Enable a product brief review process.
- Engineering performance reviews should not be about hitting abstract benchmarks or generating metrics for leadership’s sake, but should serve as opportunities for teams to uncover bottlenecks, align on priorities, and drive meaningful, systemic change.
- In the upcoming article, we will explore frameworks, tools, and real-world examples to help design and execute engineering performance reviews that deliver results—without the pain.
