Our philosophy
Software development is a critical part of business. Finding ways to ship faster and with higher quality code is what fuels business results. Uplevel believes that the best software organizations accelerate product velocity by measuring progress toward business objectives, staying attuned to key operational health metrics such as DORA, and synthesizing these measures with leading indicators of developer satisfaction and experience, or happiness. We call them people, process, and operational metrics.
Software engineering organizations, like any other discipline, performs best when everyone is clear on the metrics that positively impact the business, and the business sets up a positive environment in which everyone can perform at their best.
Mark Nelson, EVP Product Development, Tableau
"Uplevel is solving a problem every engineering organization runs into — how to quantify and improve the effectiveness of an organization at scale. Uplevel gives unique insights to allow leaders to help their teams grow and perform."
Michelle Salvado, Former Senior Engineering Executive at Trellix, FireEye, Intel, McAfee, Nokia, and Accenture
“Consider Uplevel for its unique ability to drive a data-driven culture in your engineering team, fostering transparency, trust, higher ROI, and a positive human touch that amplifies the impact of technology.”
Mike Stahnke, VP of Engineering, Flox
"Uplevel isn't just speeds and feeds for engineering. It adds a human level of perspective and insights and that's why I chose it."
Matt Howard, General Partner, Norwest Venture Partners
“By focusing on a platform of transparency and trust, Uplevel stands alone in its ability to help all levels of an engineering team with a broad solution.”
