Trackable value
Flow customers have shared several key improvements they’ve experienced thanks to increased visibility into their teams and processes:
-
Improved team collaboration
-
Increased delivery frequency and code quality
-
More objective resource allocation
-
Improved engineering team efficiency
Flow’s designed to drive these exact results. A tool that enables developers to see how their work connects to the larger-scale goals of the company should always increase efficiency of both the individual and their teams. In-depth data surrounding pull requests, comments, coding hours, bottlenecks and deployments lead to more productive stand-ups, retros and increased active days.
There are also a number of secondary benefits for your entire organization that might not be immediately obvious. Flow can greatly improve organizational culture, the mental health of your employees, interpersonal communication and relationships and even the leadership styles of your managers.
Culture
There is a direct connection between developer satisfaction and developer productivity. When a technologist feels that they’re connected to the overall company goals, it helps them to feel more valued and more productive. A tool like Pluralsight Flow can help facilitate this by providing executive transparency for developers. They can see everyone’s work, understand what they’re all working towards and gain visibility into how their code is part of those goals.
Flow also creates cross-team project opportunities by highlighting collaboration frequency, which increases employees’ sense of value and belonging. By looking at review and comment stats, you can work to create cross-team project task forces. Statistically, you build stronger bonds with your fellow employees when you do tasks together.
Engineering insights also enable leaders to identify touchpoint opportunities for their teams, so they can be more available and responsive. This is essential to build strong team bonds, especially in hybrid/remote work environments. These one-on-one touchpoints help build empathy between leaders and team members: 61% of people say they feel more innovative when they have an empathetic leader.
