Engineering Leadership

Building 10x Organizations Using Modern Productivity Metrics

with Justin Reock

Thursday 9 July 12:50 – 13:20 Tech Leaders Stage

About This Session

The session debunks the myth of the 10x engineer and argues that 10x organizations are real — backed by data showing an 11x productivity difference between organizations (vs. only 21% difference between engineers within the same org). Key themes include: - Why developer productivity is a systems problem, not a people problem - The evolution from DORA metrics to modern DevEx frameworks (SPACE, DX Core 4: Speed, Effectiveness, Quality, Impact) - How to create a continuous improvement flywheel: Assess → Prioritize → Act - Measuring GenAI's impact on developer productivity - Real-world examples (Pfizer reduced incident resolution time by 33%, increased deployment frequency by 22%)
