Thoughtworks (NASDAQ: TWKS), a global technology consultancy
that integrates strategy, design and engineering, commissioned
Forrester Consulting to explore the importance of engineering
effectiveness in driving the flexibility and performance of
business. The findings of the in-depth survey of 400+ software
engineering decision-makers across a range of countries and
industries are included in the study entitled, “Empowering
Engineering Effectiveness: Strategies for Maximizing Output and
Minimizing Waste.”
The survey results show successful organizations align
engineering teams with business results, with investment in key
engineering practices to enhance the process. Key findings of the
survey include:
- Over half (59%) of the leaders surveyed said their
organizations’ engineering agility is not where they need it to be
today, potentially leading to poor business agility and risk of
falling behind the competition.
- Less than half of organizations have adopted fundamental
engineering practices like DevOps, test-driven development, and
cloud-native technologies.
- Seventy-three percent said their engineers spend significant
time addressing tech debt and business-as-usual (BAU)
issues.
- Eighty-two percent said they plan to implement a
self-service internal developer platform within the next three
years.
The clear common thread that decision-makers have seen in
business agility are the positive effects of early initiatives in
improving engineering agility. Many leaders cited plans to
streamline the development process, promote collaboration and
empower developers to create innovative solutions with developer
platforms. While each organization’s needs are different, all seek
to build and maintain highly-productive engineering teams that
deliver the software they need quickly, cost-effectively and to a
consistently high standard.
“As the survey results found, more than half of business leaders
say their engineering teams are not sufficiently effective and
agile to quickly pivot and adapt in today's fast-changing world,”
said Rachel Laycock, Chief Technology Officer, Thoughtworks.
“Improved engineering capability can have a transformative impact
on the business. Crucially, decision-makers cite substantial
improvements to the business – more revenue, better customer
experience, greater ability to innovate, and improved time to
market - from focusing on improving engineering effectiveness.”
Launched in March 2023, Thoughtworks Engineering Effectiveness
is a comprehensive suite of services and tools that drive software
excellence by addressing platform engineering, developer
productivity, accelerators, testing strategies, technical debt and
