As an engineering leader, your role is to build a high-performing team that can scale. But this can be challenging, especially as the team grows. Identifying your bottlenecks is key to building high-performing teams and it’s a good first step to creating a productive environment and building a culture of continuous improvement.
Unfortunately, bottlenecks are not always easy to spot. Your gut may be telling you where the problem is, but even if you're right, how can you get an action plan rolling without data? What if there are other hidden bottlenecks? What if you are wrong?
The best way to identify bottlenecks is by having in-depth, end-to-end visibility of your software delivery pipeline. I'm talking about actionable data and metrics.
By separating the five phases of the delivery pipeline, Athenian highlights any issues that may be reducing the speed and quality of your team's output. And today, I'm going to show you how you can use these metrics to pinpoint the bottlenecks in your engineering process.
We asked 50 engineering leaders: "at what stage of the software engineering pipeline do you find the most bottlenecks?" and more than 50% said "Review." So let's explore an example of how you can dig deeper using data and figure out what's causing issues in your Review Time.
