Measure and improve all elements of the SPACE framework

The SPACE of developer productivity is a well-known framework developed by a group of scientists from Microsoft Research, GitHub, and the University of Victoria. It encourages organizations to measure these five elements of developer productivity.
Swarmia has provided us with a clear understanding of where our teams are excelling and where they could use additional support. The combination of quantitative developer insights with periodic qualitative feedback is powerful.
Dave Cumberland
CTO, Axios HQ

Satisfaction & well-being

Use Swarmia’s proven developer experience survey framework to systematically improve developer satisfaction and well-being.

Swarmia automatically correlates qualitative feedback with related system metrics, making it easy to get a holistic picture of developer productivity.
Swarmia both feeds and empowers our insights. It allows our engineers to dive deeper into the metrics in a specialized environment, which would make no sense for us to build for ourselves.
Walter de Bruijn
Head of Engineering Productivity at Miro

Performance

The performance of a software team is much more than a sum of the lines of code they wrote.

Swarmia makes it easy to track performance in terms of business outcomes: did the code we wrote actually solve the business problems we set out to solve?
What I really like about Swarmia is that everyone in the product engineering organization uses it in different ways. They all get value out of it, but that value changes based on their role.
Silvia Di Nardo
Senior Engineering Manager, TrueLayer

Activity

Not all activity is created equal. That’s why Swarmia focuses on visualizing work and allowing you to quickly identify concrete areas of improvement.

Instead of using data to stack rank engineers, we encourage using it to identify and fix the systemic bottlenecks that might be slowing down your teams.
Swarmia’s GitHub-to-Slack notifications are way better than in any other tool. It’s one of the reasons our engineers really love the product.
Josep Jaume Rey
Senior Engineering Director at Factorial

Communication & collaboration

A lot of the producivity bottlenecks in developers’ daily work have to do with communication and collaboration.

Swarmia helps engineering teams automate the tedious part of communication like code review requests, status updates, and issue completion recaps.
Swarmia instantly gave us a baseline, and we could see historical information on where we were in terms of key metrics.
Tim Nott
CTO, FactoryFix

Efficiency & flow

Efficiency and flow come down to the ability for individuals and teams to complete the work they’ve started with limited interruptions and few competing priorities.

In Swarmia, you can measure this particular area with a combination of DORA metrics, surveys, and intuitive data visualizations.
