Your Engineers Are Drowning in Operational Work

Most engineering teams spend 70% of their time on toil instead of building features. Our assessment reveals exactly where you're losing velocity.

Constant Firefighting

Your team is always in reactive mode, never getting ahead

High Burnout Risk

3am pages and weekend work are destroying morale

Slow Delivery

Features take weeks when they should take days

Comprehensive Engineering Operations Analysis

We examine every aspect of how your engineering team operates

DORA Metrics Baseline

Measure your deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, and change failure rate

Team Health & Culture

Assess burnout risk, on-call burden, and engineering satisfaction

Operational Toil Analysis

Identify repetitive tasks eating 70% of your team's time

Platform Maturity

Evaluate self-service capabilities and automation levels

Security Integration

Review how security impacts development velocity

Cost Efficiency

Analyze engineering spend vs. value delivered

Sample Insights You'll Get:

  • • "Your deployment frequency is 73% below industry average"
  • • "Engineers spend 68% of time on operational toil"
  • • "Implementing self-service infrastructure would save 1,200 hours/month"
  • • "Your MTTR could improve 5x with proper observability"
"The assessment was eye-opening. We discovered our senior engineers were spending 80% of their time on tasks that could be automated. Within 3 months of implementing the roadmap, we reduced operational toil by 60% and improved deployment frequency 10x."

Common Questions

Who should participate in the assessment?

We'll need time with engineering leadership, team leads, and a cross-section of individual contributors. Total time commitment is about 2-3 hours per person over the 2 weeks.

What data do you need access to?

We'll need read-only access to your CI/CD metrics, incident reports, and deployment history. All data is handled confidentially and used only for analysis purposes.

What happens after the assessment?

You'll have a clear roadmap with prioritized recommendations. You can implement them internally, engage us for specific projects, or pursue a full platform engineering transformation. The choice is yours.

How is this different from other assessments?

We focus specifically on engineering velocity and operational excellence, not just tools or processes. Our recommendations are based on proven practices from elite-performing teams and include concrete ROI projections.
