[Birmingham, AL] – [August 21, 2024] – DevClarity is proud to announce the public launch of its product to end Development Fog. This bold campaign targets one of the most pervasive challenges in the software industry today—Development Fog—a metaphorical shroud that obscures the visibility of development teams, from individual contributors to engineering leaders.
Exposing the Fog
Development Fog represents the unseen obstacles that hinder transparency and progress within software teams. From technical complexity and specialized subject matter expertise to the dispersed nature of remote work and the rapid pace of technological change, this fog obscures visibility for leaders. For Engineering Managers, it’s the daily, time-consuming effort of assessing their developers' progress through unclear signals. For VPs and Directors of Engineering, it’s the compounded difficulty of gauging their managers’ performance and ensuring team alignment.
“Development Fog is the unseen enemy of efficiency and effectiveness in software teams,” said Will Blackburn, Co-founder at DevClarity. “It prevents leaders from gaining a true sense of their team’s progress and potential roadblocks, leading to missed deadlines, decreased morale, and costly setbacks. Our mission with this campaign is to raise awareness about this challenge and provide a solution that clears the fog.”
“Engineering Managers are asked to do a lot,” Blackburn continued. “And we see that their importance is only increasing due to the changes AI is bringing to software development. It’s time we gave them a tool to amplify their impact and to help them share their understanding up the organization.”
Introducing DevClarity: Fighting Development Fog
DevClarity has launched its platform, purpose-built to deliver visibility and actionable insights across every level of a software development organization. However, this platform is unique in that it is not built around metrics. By leveraging AI specifically tuned for the nuances of engineering management, VPs and Directors can ensure high-velocity teams by proactively monitoring team sentiment, identifying potential issues before they derail a team, and optimizing their managers' effectiveness at every level.
Engineering Managers and Team Leads are empowered with a one-on-one tool to streamline their efforts and enhance communication, regaining valuable time by focusing on what truly matters—leading their teams to success.
“DevClarity acts as a guiding light through the fog of development,” said Peter Inge, Co-founder at DevClarity. “Dev leaders need more guidance, not more metrics. By providing clear visibility into individual developers, we’re helping leaders cut through the haze, optimize their leadership practices, and drive higher output across their teams. We believe that with DevClarity, the days of struggling with Development Fog are over.”
Join the Movement to End Development Fog
As part of their launch, DevClarity is calling on all software development leaders to take a stand against Development Fog. The company will be rolling out guides, thought pieces, and hands-on demos aimed at equipping engineering leaders with the knowledge and tools they need to enhance their visibility and effectiveness. Users of DevClarity will also be invited to join a community of proactive development leaders who share best practices and their experiences with each other.
