It’s clear that managers can use data to empower their engineers. When we know who’s spread too thin and where projects are stalled, we can take action toward solutions. This transparency has ignited change for many Uplevel users.

When managers realize these benefits, they can coach more productive and efficient teams. When similar data is shared on an individual level with individual contributors (ICs), those engineers can propel themselves toward better results.

This success for managers and ICs has revealed an expanded opportunity that we’re proud to address.

INTRODUCING: EXECUTIVE INSIGHTS

From directors to C-suite executives, engineering leaders need clarity to effectively run an organization. That clear view can be hard to source when you’re receiving different updates from a multitude of managers. Leaders need one roll-up view of team progress, sprint roadblocks, and trending patterns.

Uplevel now empowers upper-level management with new Executive Insights. This homepage displays data-rich visualizations of critical topics that impact your organization’s success.

HOW TO USE THIS DASHBOARD

This dashboard shares real-time insights from the tools your teams already use—like Slack, Jira, calendars, and code repos. We optimize that information to be directly helpful for your role, like presenting a bird’s-eye view of all the teams and indicating healthy ranges for certain metrics. Want to dive deeper on any particular topic or team? Hover over data points to see expanded insights, like how much time individuals are spending in meetings or how certain aspects have changed over time.

What can I see?

  • Who is getting enough Deep Work?
  • How much are my teams context switching throughout the day?
  • Which teams are spending too much time in meetings?
  • Are Slack interruptions rising or decreasing over time?
  • What is the average cycle time for my teams?

How can I learn more?

  • Hover over data points to see individual metrics or long-term trends
  • Customize the date range to understand a certain week, sprint, or time period

Having accessible data with clear takeaways can empower engineering leaders to create true improvement in their organizations. See which teams need extra support and which might have best practices to share. Armed with their own dashboards, your managers and ICs can leverage these insights for multi-tiered impact. A stronger organization awaits.
