Introducing the GenAI Impact Report
A prescriptive approach to measuring and maximizing GenAI ROI.
As companies continue investing heavily in AI code assistants, engineering leaders face a critical challenge: measuring the actual business impact of these investments. Today, DX announced the release of their GenAI Impact report, a solution that helps organizations understand AI tool usage and impact on developer productivity.
The GenAI Impact report combines telemetry data with developer feedback to provide a complete picture of AI’s impact on development teams. By integrating with existing systems and workflows, the report delivers insights across multiple dimensions including time savings, productivity metrics, and quality indicators.
“Measuring GenAI’s business impact is about more than just gathering data—it’s about translating those insights into action,” says Isaac Noda, Product Manager at DX. “Our new report gives a prescriptive approach for organizations to measure, report on, and optimize their GenAI investments.”
Key features of the GenAI Impact report
ROI calculations: The report calculates concrete dollar-value ROI by combining reported time savings with FTE costs. Organizations can compare their returns against industry benchmarks and identify opportunities for greater adoption.
Correlations with other productivity metrics: The report analyzes how GenAI usage correlates with other productivity metrics like PR throughput, the Developer Experience Index, and change fail percentage. This helps organizations see the impact of GenAI on other aspects of how engineering teams work, including whether it improves speed or their developer experience. It also helps ensure that using AI tools isn’t coming at the expense of quality.
Comparisons between users and non-users: The metrics within the GenAI Impact report show the data for GenAI users and for non-users. This be a powerful tool for determining whether a tool should be rolled out more broadly.
Identifying impactful use cases: Through integration with DX’s PlatformX tool for capturing real-time feedback, the report provides granular insights into specific development tasks, helping teams identify and share the most impactful GenAI use cases.
For organizations looking to implement or optimize their GenAI investments, the report provides actionable insights from diverse sources. To learn more about this report and how it can help measure the ROI of GenAI tools at your organization, schedule a demo or reach out to a DX representative.
