Announcing our partnership with Unblocked

At DX, we help engineering leaders measure developer productivity and provide recommendations on how to improve. As a result, our customers frequently ask us for our perspectives on best-in-class tools that can help deliver improvements.

In order to provide data-driven guidance, we partner with forward-thinking vendors to study and measure the effectiveness of their products. By leveraging measurements like the DX Core 4 and DXI, we can draw a direct line between tool usage and developer productivity gains.

Partnering with Unblocked

With this focus in mind, we’re excited to announce our latest partnership with Unblocked. Unblocked integrates with a company’s source code and connects it with contextual data and discussions from platforms like Confluence, Jira, Slack, and Notion. Developers can ask Unblocked questions and discover insights across a variety of interfaces (on the web, in Slack, in their IDEs) helping them more quickly understand their code and the context behind it.

Unblocked’s customers have highlighted its ability to reduce context switching, decrease time spent searching for information, and minimize interruptions amongst colleagues. Through our partnership, we will study Unblocked’s impact on developer productivity and provide Unblocked customers with DX’s measurement and benchmarking capabilities.

We invite all customers of Unblocked, as well as those evaluating it, to leverage DX to measure your current state of productivity and assess the benefit that Unblocked can bring. Like DX, Unblocked is committed to helping their customers make data-informed decisions, and we’re eager to partner with them on our shared mission.

What’s next

We’ve already begun conducting studies with organizations to analyze the impact they’re seeing from Unblocked on their developers. Over the coming months, we will share our early findings and insights from our research.

Whether you’re already an Unblocked customer or are currently evaluating it, we’d love to help you measure the impact it’s having on your teams. Please contact us today to learn more about how DX can support your efforts and help you make the most of Unblocked’s capabilities.
