summary

A new LeadDev-commissioned report presents data from 600+ engineering managers and claims teams still struggle to measure performance because common frameworks are unused or misapplied, with DORA and SPACE unfamiliar to many and cycle time remaining the most popular but gameable metric. Surveys sit low in measurement practice, teams want to identify bottlenecks and increase velocity, and only 6% report using metrics for promotion or firing, with Swarmio supporting the research.
