We invite you to participate in an interview study on how organizations define, motivate, measure, and improve Developer Experience (DX) in practice.

Study Goals

Across the industry, companies are investing in Developer Experience initiatives — from internal platforms to DX teams, productivity metrics, and frameworks like SPACE, DORA, or DevEx.

Yet, many questions remain:

• What truly works in practice?
• Which metrics are meaningful and actionable?
• What challenges do organizations face in implementation?

This study aims to uncover real-world DX strategies, successes, and gaps across a variety of organizational contexts.

Interview Study

We invite you to a 1-hour interview, scheduled at your convenience between July and November 2025. In case of interest, please contact Dr. André Meyer.

This is an IRB-approved study (see consent form). Your insights will help advance research and industry understanding of developer-centric practices, and may be published anonymously in academic or practitioner-oriented venues.

Who we are

We are academic researchers with over two decades of experience studying software teams and Developer Experience. Our research included collaborations with researchers at Microsoft, Google and Slack, as well as contributors to the SPACE and DevEx frameworks.
