Launching DevEx into SPACE! Helping Engineers Thrive in the Age of AI
Unlocking the productive potential of engineering teams goes beyond just software tools; it’s about shifting the focus back to the driving force behind it all: the developers themselves. Join us for an insightful discussion on how Microsoft leverages a blend of research techniques to understand the human factors impacting developer productivity. We will explore how AI is changing the way developers work, taking an honest look at where it is helping to improve the developer experience and where it isn’t. This session will explore the hopes and concerns developers have with AI head-on.
We’ll explore the metrics Microsoft uses to assess developer productivity, explain why these metrics matter, and talk about whether our approach to metrics has changed due to the emergence of AI. How can teams increase the amount of time they have for uninterrupted, focused work? Does hybrid work really work? How much of a difference can a modern office really make on developer productivity? Join us to understand how to help your engineers thrive and to get answers to critical questions about the future of developer productivity in the age of AI.
