Just how do we enable and empower software developers to be build better software faster and make them more productive?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Meyer points out, researchers have been trying to solve that mystery for years to little avail. To gain a deeper understanding of the problem, Meyer highlighted three challenges in understanding and increasing developer productivity:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenge 1: <\/strong>Limited knowledge about developer work days<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenge 2:<\/strong> Productivity is often measured by output measures only<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenge 3: <\/strong>Most developers are not aware of productivity factors<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To overcome these challenges, Meyer and his fellow researchers sought answers to three core questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What does a software developer&#x2019;s work day look like in terms of activities and work fragmentation and how does it relate to perceived productivity?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Can we apply self-monitoring to increase developers&#x2019; awareness about work and productivity for a) teams and b) individual software developers?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Can we devise approaches that foster productive behaviours at work through the provision of actionable insights?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/foster-software-developer-productivity\/#Watch_the_presentation\" >Watch the presentation<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/foster-software-developer-productivity\/#Further_reading\" >Further reading<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/foster-software-developer-productivity\/#First_steps_to_speeding_up_your_dev_teams\" >First steps to speeding up your dev teams<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_the_presentation\"><\/span>Watch the presentation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can learn about Meyer&#x2019;s discoveries in answering the above questions in the below video:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Further_reading\"><\/span>Further reading<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This white paper is based on research into 11 professional software developers from three international software development companies of varying sizes for four hours each.<\/p>\n<p>The findings reveal the key factors that make developers feel productive, and provides compelling insight into how to eliminate the activities\/tasks that drain developer productivity.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9670\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9670\" style=\"width: 535px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/go.tasktop.com\/Software-Development-Productivity-Tasktop.html\"><img class=\"lazyload\" alt height=\"215\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/tasktop_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/understanding-software-development-productivity-from-the-ground-up-4.18_marketo-hero-535x215.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click image to download white paper.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_steps_to_speeding_up_your_dev_teams\"><\/span>First steps to speeding up your dev teams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Want to know more about measurement and improving the productivity of your software development and delivery teams? <a href=\"\/contact-us\">Speak to us today.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>About Andr&#xE9;
