How 18 companies measure AI’s impact in engineering
The real metrics that GitHub, Google, Dropbox, and 15 other companies use to measure AI impact.
A quick note to share that I wrote a guest post for The Pragmatic Engineer. I interviewed leaders at 18 companies to learn which metrics they use to measure AI’s impact on software engineering.
The article walks through the specific metrics they’re using (with a definition guide included), highlights some patterns and unique approaches that stood out, and closes with a practical set of metrics and guidance you can use to get started.
Many leaders are still working through how to identify which AI tools are delivering value, how tools are being used, and what productivity gains they’re achieving. My hope is that this report sets you up to address those questions.
If you have feedback, thoughts, or questions, let me know on LinkedIn or in the comments.
That’s it for this week. Thanks for reading!
