DevEx is often described as the tools, platforms, and processes developers use—but what about the role of team managers in shaping that experience? In my early days of leadership, I quickly learned that keeping a team motivated, engaged, and aligned is just as critical as the tools they use. The impact of a strong, well-aligned team on Developer Experience cannot be overstated. As a first-line manager, how do you ensure your team stays motivated and productive while fostering a healthy work environment? If you're looking for actionable strategies to lead development teams more effectively, join this workshop designed specifically for managers of developers. Let’s build better teams together. 🤝

At GitKraken, we obsess over developer experience, but what about dev team leaders & managers? Who cares about the hopes and fears of the lowly boss or tech exec? The fine folks at LeadDev do, that's who. They published their 2024 Engineering Leadership Report, and it contains some great insights, and at least one surprising upset (hint: DevEx > AI). Take 30 seconds to swipe through my recap, and get the link to the entire report in the comments. #DevEx #DevLeaders #AI

Innovation is often viewed as that bold, transformative leap – a product that reshapes an entire industry, a solution no one saw coming. But what's overlooked is the process behind that innovation. The countless small improvements, incremental experiments & measurements that build toward the big game-changing moment. And in the digital realm, I argue it all starts with good developer experience. Innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. And it doesn't happen when software teams are distracted, context switching and getting caught in expensive cycles of rework or scope change. No, it happens when developers are given the room to think beyond the daily grind of writing and shipping code. That’s why DevEx is so much more than just a “nice-to-have.” When companies invest in creating environments in which devs can focus on what they do best (solving complex problems, creating new opportunities, and pushing past boundaries), they’re fueling the innovations that drive your company's current growth -- and your future success. Whether it’s through better dev tooling, more efficient processes, or simply reducing unnecessary meetings, making life easier for developers means creating the conditions for creativity to thrive. Bottom line: companies that don’t prioritize DevEx are leaving innovation gains on the table. Leaders might wonder why progress seems slow or why teams aren’t delivering the groundbreaking ideas they'd hoped for. Often, it’s because developers are too busy wrestling with the very systems that should be empowering them. When you fix that, the innovations – both big and small – start to flow. And in a world where software drives nearly every industry, that’s not just a competitive advantage – it’s a necessity! So the question for company execs is, how are you setting your software teams up to innovate?

DevEx isn’t about ping-pong tables 🏓 and free lunches 🥗 (though those don't hurt 🤪) – it’s about driving real business outcomes! In the latest episode of SD Times' podcast "What the Dev?", GitKraken CEO Matt Johnston shares unique insights on how developer experience is shaping your customer’s journey and your company’s bottom line. 🎧 Tune in to get all the details, link in the comments below ⬇️ #DevEx #DeveloperExperience #SDTimes #WhatTheDev #Podcast #Developers #DevTeams

Was great to sit down with SD Times for a few minutes to discuss the state of DevEx, what dev tools companies are getting wrong in this space, and the launch of our new Atlassian Solution Partner program. Give it a listen.
