The LeadDev Engineering Performance Report 2025

For the past four years, we have tracked how engineering leaders measure the performance of their teams. Now, we want to better understand how you measure the performance of what those teams produce.

Traditional performance reporting strategies no longer capture the realities of AI-assisted code, complex hybrid cloud infrastructures, and distributed ownership. This report provides context for examining how engineering leaders adapt their measurement frameworks, allocate budgets, and continuously improve observability practices to align with evolving business priorities.
