Most organizations measure developer productivity the wrong way – tracking outputs instead of outcomes and activity instead of impact. But a new generation of engineering leaders is changing that.

In this session, Justin Reock explores the origins and theories behind developer productivity and developer experience, sharing how forward-thinking teams use modern metrics to build high-performing, 10x engineering organizations. Featuring real-world examples from Dropbox, attendees will walk away with a practical framework for measuring what actually matters.

Key takeaways:

• Understand the foundational theories behind developer productivity and developer experience
• Learn which modern metrics signal healthy, high-performing engineering teams
• See how Dropbox applies these principles in practice
