You can expect the assessment to take approximately eight weeks from product implementation to plan delivery.

Yes. While each assessment has a capacity of approximately 4 teams, we can repeat the assessment to evaluate different groups as needed. We also offer the option of pre- and post- assessments to holistically measure the impact of organizational changes that you enact.  

In the interview portion of the assessment, Uplevel meets with 8-12 stakeholders who work closely with the teams and have a pulse on engineering at the organization. These stakeholders may include engineering leaders who manage multiple teams, as well as a cross-section of platform engineers, architects, and program managers.

Uplevel sends a brief, 15-minute survey to all developers on the assessment teams. It is designed to ask targeted questions that surface qualitative insights quickly.

After our analysis, we meet with each team together for an insights workshop. This hour-long session gives them an opportunity to see areas of improvement and propose potential solutions. We find that investment of time (being part of the solutioning) is critical to build buy-in for long-term change efforts. 

The initial Uplevel assessment gives you a diagnosis and high-level plan for systemic improvements across your organization, but knowing what to do is different from putting plans into action. 

Our Iterative Change Enablement program guides teams through organizational  transformation and helps leaders build the skills they need to create a culture of continual improvement.
