Yeah, good question. These are the people... My response just now was deriving from how engineers report the friction. So from the perspective for developers waiting on other teams, which could be cross-functional or it could just be other engineering teams that they have different services or whatnot. So that tends to be a big area of friction.

Not just meetings. Less meetings, please. No, not just meetings. What else? Yeah. It's people were asking, it can be people actually asking you questions. It can be code reviews. It could be, Hey, can you do, you know, can you fix this quick thing? Can you customer ask for this thing? Can you take care of it? It could be support. It could be incidents. So it's much more than meetings. Yeah.

That's, that's something we see a lot of companies just say, Oh yeah, we just need like no meetings Wednesday. And then this problem solved. Right. Yeah. Yeah. That's really the case. I was actually looking at DX, what our top ranked areas were.
That's, that's something we see a lot of companies just say, Oh yeah, we just need like no meetings Wednesday. And then this problem solved. Right. Yeah. Yeah. That's really the case. I was actually looking at DX, what our top ranked areas were.
Well, no. What do our developers say are the biggest areas that should actually be improved? And for us, it's actually that code maintainability. So the ability, how easy it is to actually understand and modify code.
Well, no. What do our developers say are the biggest areas that should actually be improved? And for us, it's actually that code maintainability. So the ability, how easy it is to actually understand and modify code.
uh it's actually also project clear project direction so the projects they work on having clear goals and direction and it's actually that batch size which we've since renamed to incremental delivery but you know are you working on kind of small continuous changes as opposed to large ships we're the top three for us those first two are driven by leadership aren't they at me

I was thinking you're showing us cards here.
I was thinking you're showing us cards here.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I'll say this. Our DXI score is three points above P90.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I'll say this. Our DXI score is three points above P90.
Yeah, we're sitting really pretty. But yeah, even then, there's always room for improvement, right? And actually, I just, I'm looking at the data now and actually our clear direction.
Yeah, we're sitting really pretty. But yeah, even then, there's always room for improvement, right? And actually, I just, I'm looking at the data now and actually our clear direction.
Yeah, those top three I just mentioned actually are not above P90. Those three specifically. Okay. Yeah.
Yeah, those top three I just mentioned actually are not above P90. Those three specifically. Okay. Yeah.
Yeah. And same with code review turnaround actually is not above P90. Here's the better question, really.
Yeah. And same with code review turnaround actually is not above P90. Here's the better question, really.
