Future of Developer Productivity: Microsoft’s EngThrive Framework in Practice | BRK210

AI is transforming how we write code, but the teams shipping fastest go beyond tools—they systematically remove bottlenecks in the development process. This session gives you a practical framework to measure and improve developer productivity in the AI era, based on Microsoft’s EngThrive model of Speed, Ease, and Quality. See how to apply each dimension through case studies, including a team that reduced developer toil by 25%. You’ll leave with clear metrics to track, dashboards to build, and actions that work for teams of any size.
