While UX (user experience) is a well-known concept among the general public, not much is known about DX (developer experience) even among professionals. And that's what we are aiming to change. Because developers and their satisfaction constitute key attributes of successful digital products.
How do you understand this concept? DX is the experience developers gain while working, using necessary tools, and while being a part of a team with its specific dynamics.
DX has two sides: internal and external. The goal of the former is to streamline processes in the team and remove all possible obstacles impeding working or functioning in the team.
And why is it so important to keep an eye on the correct setting and level of DX? Because development experience affects the quality of the final product. Satisfied developers produce more quality products. If they are happy with their work, they work faster and better (lower error rate) which will have a positive effect on the product itself--it will be better and more successful. You will also reduce team turnover which will ensure important business continuity.
We ourselves have been part of IT development teams, so we know what DX looks like and how it affects people and the fruits of their labour. And since most companies don't keep that in mind, we would like to change that. That's why we’ve founded DX Heroes, and why we’ve been improving the development experience for two years now.
Not sure how well your developers fare in terms of their DX score? Get in touch with us, and together we’ll figure out how we can help you. We are happy to share our experience with you, advise you on how to measure and improve DX, and help you set up processes and evaluation criteria.
