# Startup Presentation: Echoes - What if developer productivity wasn't the problem?


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 18, 2024
- **Time:** 13:40–13:45 (5 min)
- **Room:** STAGE 8 (120)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

Developer productivity is on every company’s mind. Yet, we developers have access to tools, frameworks, and AI assistants making us more productive now than ever before. But as expectations toward tech keep growing, the accountability and transparency of engineering organizations is lagging. In this context, measures of developer productivity fill a gap by providing one, albeit imperfect, answer to the question “are we doing well?”.

In this lightning talk, we’ll explore why developer productivity is the tree hiding the forest, and how to better define what success means for engineering organizations.
