Axify Reviews & Product Details

Help your dev team work as a team! Axify is a single platform to observe all the metrics that will help you improve your development and delivery processes. Data is collected in real-time from tools you already use and aggregated in easy-to-read dashboards that inspire meaningful conversations to elevate teamwork and collaboration among developers. Address challenges as a team, find solutions together and create better software! We created Axify in 2020 after a workload increase shed light on growing pains, notably the difficulty of having constant visibility on all projects, considering the large amount of data to be collected. Employee well-being was also a significant challenge to address! Humans being at the center of our priorities, it was essential to maintain a great work environment where we could empower talented individuals to unleash their potential and maintain a high level of motivation in each project. We’re now bringing useful data and valuable feedback to software development teams and professionals who want to improve their delivery process: - Scrum Masters - Agile coaches - Development teams - Management Sounds familiar? ► Lack of trust in our team affects the delivery quality ► We always feel rushed at the end of the iteration ► We tend to work in silos rather than collaborate towards a common goal ► The number of bugs has increased, and we don't have time to fix them ► We feel like we never deliver enough value despite a high WIP ► Our meetings are unstructured and offer little value, especially the daily ► Our workload does not allow us to implement best practices or innovate Then you need Axify! We're so passionate about software delivery performance that we researched everything on the subject. And many studies such as DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) research and the SPACE framework showed that proactive observation is essential in predicting future performance in software development. How does it work? We’re building off tools everyone in your team already uses, so setting up Axify takes less than 10 minutes. 1. Connect your integrations and invite team members 2. Let us gather data along three axes proven to foster better software delivery 3. Discuss at-risk metrics and challenges as a team We create features for real-life dev team problems to give meaning to development metrics with actionable highlights! ► Integrates seamlessly into your workflow Keep using your favourite tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub and GitLab to gather metrics on team morale, processes, and workflows. ► Instant results Axify starts gathering data and presenting dashboards as soon as your integrations are connected. That's right: you get metrics on day one of using Axify! The only exception is team morale, where we wait two weeks before generating the first report to ensure good data representation and anonymity. ► Increased transparency within the team Discover our trustworthy morale chatbot! Automatically and anonymously, ask team members development-specific morale questions to quickly identify potential conflicts and foster vulnerability. We survey contributors along five dimensions (stress, motivation, inclusion, security and alignment) with daily prompts to answer short and simple questions. ► No more “rush” at the end of the iteration Software development is not deterministic, i.e. it is impossible to repeat the same experiment and always get the same result. So how can Axify predict software delivery? Our forecasting tool relies on multiple simulations based on the team's historical data to either predict how many items your team can deliver over a period of time or when you will deliver a set number of items. And this all happens in real-time! Pretty cool, right? ► Say bye to silos with more collaboration towards a common goal Get an overview of everything going on in the team with our easy-to-read dashboards. Since Axify collects data in real-time, you'll be able to stay on top of things and address issues as they arise. No more hiding! Plus, we focus on team performance rather than individual wins to foster true collaboration. ► Less bugs and improved QA Our Technical Axis gives you all the tools you need to analyze bottlenecks and areas of improvement in your Quality Assurance process. For example, are more Pull Requests being self-reviewed? Are bugs fixed quickly? Are developers leaving comments in their reviews? Find answers to these and many more questions with Axify! ► Deliver more value, more frequently, as a team Working on many items at a time may sound great in theory ... but how many of them make it to deployment? Psst! That's where you deliver real value to clients and users! If your small team of developers is constantly working on big batches of items, it may be time to inspect your WIP and work towards collaboration. As a side effect, items will get to Done quicker: you'll see! ► Structured meeting that add value to your day Start the day off right with Daily Digest! Observe the state of your sprint at a glance and identify the most urgent tasks to discuss as a team. By gathering the data from the process and technical axes on a single page, it will inspire your team to have the right discussions during the meeting and thus maximize the efficiency of this ritual. Are you working with Kanban? No problem! Use our tool to optimize your workflow daily and help your team close tasks quicker. ► Implement best practices and innovate To improve, you need to know what you're working with.
