Just like Okay used to, Swarmia focuses on helping modern software teams identify and eliminate the bottlenecks that are slowing down the day-to-day work of engineers.
Software development productivity isn’t just one number you can track. That’s why Swarmia surfaces a carefully curated set of research-backed engineering metrics that give you a complete overview of productivity.
With Swarmia, you can explore metrics across four areas: business impact, flow, code quality, and team health — and use those insights to identify improvement areas.
The problem with metrics is that they don’t drive action on their own. That’s where Swarmia’s Working Agreements come in.
They allow teams to adopt proven habits like "avoid working alone" and set numeric targets for code reviews, open PRs, and more.
The final piece of the productivity puzzle are Swarmia’s two-way Slack notifications. They allow teams and individuals to receive and respond to real-time alerts and nudges to improve collaboration and cut down waiting times.
The daily digests on your team’s Slack channel help everyone keep up with ongoing work. The personal notifications, on the other hand, nudge you to react to review requests, GitHub comments, failed CI, and more.
Swarmia is not just a dashboard for the engineering leadership. In addition to research-backed metrics, it also gives teams the tools they need to get a little bit better every day.
There’s no single right way to build software. Swarmia adapts to every team’s tools, rituals, and challenges, so you can keep working in a way that works for you and your team.
Instead of using engineering metrics to find answers, we believe in using them to ask better questions. After all, data can answer the "what" but it will rarely tell you the "why."
Just because you can measure something doesn’t mean you should. Here are some of the engineering metrics you can (and can’t) measure with Swarmia.
