Boost developer productivity and modernization with a Red Hat developer experience assessment

A seamless developer experience (DevEx) isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity. But the reality for many organizations is that developers are spending a significant amount of their valuable time on tasks other than coding. Research from a recent ShiftMag survey reveals that developers lose an average of 8 hours each week to inefficiencies such as technical debt and insufficient documentation. These frustrations are not just a nuisance, they're a drain on productivity that can lead to burnout and a substantial loss of potential output for the business.

This is why platform engineering has emerged as a strategic imperative for businesses. According to Gartner, an estimated 80% of large software engineering organizations will establish platform engineering teams by 2026 to provide reusable services and tools for application delivery.

Fast-track to a developer platform

The path to building a successful internal developer platform can be daunting. With so many tools and processes to consider, it can be difficult to know where to begin. This is precisely why Red Hat created the Developer Experience Assessment workshop.

This two-week interactive workshop provides an increased understanding of the current developer experience, platform engineering teams, and DevOps principles through a classroom-style discovery workshop. This workshop is designed to help teams uncover hidden friction points between teams and map out the application onboarding and development lifecycle. The outcome is a tailored roadmap, or recipe, for how to improve your DevEx and scale platform adoption. 

To enhance your organization's developer experience, and accelerate application delivery, you can leverage Red Hat Consulting. We frequently use metrics‑based process mapping (MBPM) to combine detailed process mapping with KPI tracking to enhance efficiency, quality, and effectiveness in software development. We analyze critical parts of your build and release workflows, use data to uncover bottlenecks and friction, and identify where automation or self‑service delivers the strongest impact. For example, in one case our consultants helped a major healthcare organization cut developer onboarding times by 43% through implementing onboarding templates. The assessment provides clear, actionable steps, and addresses your people and process, enabling you to deliver tangible improvements and quick wins.
