The partnership will help engineering organizations measure and improve developer productivity and drive actionable insights and results

ATLANTA, Jan. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nerd/Noir, a consulting firm specializing in transforming large-scale, product engineering organizations, today announced its partnership with DX, the trusted platform for measuring and improving developer experience. This partnership will accelerate Nerd/Noir's commitment to helping engineering organizations measure and improve developer productivity, making organizations more efficient and better situated for long-term success.

The partnership enables Nerd/Noir to offer an exclusive six-week Discovery License of the DevEx 360 tool within its Developer Experience Insights program- which empowers businesses to benchmark performance, pinpoint the biggest opportunities for developers, and provide teams with individualized insights and recommendations that help guide improvement. In six weeks, Nerd/Noir can identify improvement opportunities, while its technical coaching team applies their expertise to customize an action plan based on clients' survey results.

"We're honored to partner with DX as we further our commitment to learning about customer needs more quickly for product and engineering teams alike - which takes this process from months to weeks," said David Laribee, Co-founder and CEO of Nerd/Noir. "In our consulting work, we found that the question of 'where to start' is often answered with guesswork. This program removes the guesswork and helps clients find the needle so we can move it together."

Through the Developer Experience Insights program, Nerd/Noir will help its clients:

    --  Make the invisible visible: Identify improvement opportunities quickly
        by using qualitative insights from across the developer experience to
        recognize exactly what is causing friction and how to improve.
    --  Turn insight into action: Easily administered via Microsoft Teams or
        Slack, the survey has a 95% average response rate and transparently
        provides results to all respondents. Upon analyzing the results,
        Nerd/Noir will develop an improvement plan using its proven playbooks.
    --  Empower teams with data: Pinpoint the biggest opportunities, provide
        teams with individualized insights, and benchmark performance against
        more than 120,000 data samples across industries and sectors.
    --  Measure what matters: Choose from 25 drivers influencing developer
        experience with clear KPIs around speed, quality, and ease of delivery.

"We provide seamless ways for software developers to improve processes with actionable, data-driven insights," said Greyson Junggren, co-founder of DX. "We're excited to partner with Nerd/Noir to bring change to organizations where they need it most."
