Common questions about our uncommon approach

Here are the practical questions engineering leaders ask about implementation, time investment, and how Uplevel actually works with real teams.

Can we start small before committing to the full solution?

Yes. StackUp is free and takes 10 minutes. GearUp is a 45-day assessment requiring about 3 hours of your team’s time. You can validate our approach before deciding on Uplevel Enterprise, which is ongoing and dependent upon scope agreement. 

Uplevel Enterprise is typically similar to GearUp in commitment on a per-team basis, with some additional sessions for team solutioning workshops, executive readouts, and monthly check-ins. It’s designed to be as lightweight as possible for leaders while helping you enable your org’s transformation.

Can we start with just one team or department?

Most clients start with a pilot team in GearUp, prove the value, then expand to Uplevel Enterprise with broader coverage. We find that change happens best at the organizational level, with 25% “tipping point”  going through transformation work with us to drive org-wide changes.

Do we need to go through a 6-month infosec review to get started?

Not for StackUp or GearUp. We can work with sanitized data uploads that bypass typical enterprise procurement. Full access (Uplevel Enterprise) does require integration, but we've streamlined this significantly.

What results should we expect in the first 90 days?

Clarity on your top 2-3 bottlenecks, executive buy-in, a prioritized roadmap, and measurable movement on at least one key metric. Real transformation takes longer, but you'll see signal fast.

What size companies do you work with?

We typically work with engineering organizations of 500+ developers, which we find to be the size where point solutions, spreadsheets, and the advice “just talk to your developers!” stop being helpful.

We're fully remote/distributed. Does Uplevel work for us?

Yes. Remote work patterns are built into our analysis. In fact, distributed teams often benefit more because the data reveals coordination and communication patterns that are invisible without measurement.

What if our Jira is a mess?

We expect messy Jira. Our ML classification helps make sense of chaotic issue tracking so we can understand the reality of how your organization works.

Is my data secure?

Uplevel adheres to industry-leading security standards to ensure your data remains protected.

  • Encryption: All data is strictly encrypted both in transit and at rest.
  • SOC 2 Type II Certified: Uplevel maintains SOC 2 Type II certification, verifying our rigorous controls over data security, availability, and confidentiality.
