The returns on DevEx investment.

Allocating significant focus time to development increases productivity by 50%. The focus here is on establishing and maintaining flow state. Developers working on engaging projects are 30% more productive. 42% productivity boost when developers believe they have a high degree of understanding of their code and context around it—documentation efforts therefore have a clear ROI. Intuitive processes, including technical processes and issues around blockers/friction, create 50% more innovation. Fast turnaround on feedback loops creates 20% higher innovation. Fast responses to questions during development leads to 50% less technical debt.rK6
