What is Developer Efficiency Score (DES)?

Who is DES designed for?

DES is primarily intended for stakeholders who would like to evaluate the performance of their software delivery teams. By leveraging the features of DES, stakeholders can share Labs' best practices and recommended tools during and beyond service engagements.

What is DES exactly?

DES has two sections.

1. Stakeholders gather information on the software delivery team's remote practices through a set of questions.
2. DES then calculates the team efficiency score to help stakeholders enhance and solidify Labs' recommendations going forward.

Why DES?

VMware Labs' reputation for best practices in co-located team software development has led to clients demanding guidance on establishing successful remote or hybrid teams since the the COVID pandemic started.
