Git metrics tell you what is happening; surveys tell you why. DevPerform includes a survey product so you can pair objective delivery data with how your team actually feels — and correlate the two.
Surveys are part of the Growth plan and up. See Plans.

Survey types

Pick one or more built-in templates when creating a survey, and add your own questions alongside them:
  • DX Core 4 — a validated developer-experience framework measuring flow, feedback loops, and friction. Rolls up into a DX Index.
  • Full Engagement — a comprehensive ~5-minute engagement survey across seven dimensions: Manager, Growth, Recognition, Enablement, Wellbeing, Belonging, and overall Engagement. Scored per dimension, with key-driver analysis that surfaces which dimensions (and which questions) most move engagement. Best for periodic deep reads (quarterly / half-yearly). See the engagement scorecard.
  • eNPS — “how likely are you to recommend this as a place to work,” scored on the −100 to 100 eNPS scale, with an open follow-up.
  • Engagement — a short team-satisfaction pulse (a lighter alternative to Full Engagement).
  • Custom questions — add your own Likert or open-text items to any survey.

Managing surveys

The Surveys page has two tabs:
  • Manage — create, edit drafts, send, resend, close, and archive surveys. Filter the list by status, time period, or search; archived surveys drop out of the list but their data is retained for trends and comparisons.
  • Insights — analyze results across surveys, teams, and time. See Reading results.
Surveys are account-wide: they can reach engineers across all of your connected orgs / groups / workspaces, and you choose recipients by team (or the whole company) when sending — only people with an email on file can be sent to.

How delivery works

  1. Map identities — in Admin, map each engineer’s handle to a work email so DevPerform knows where to send. (Emails are auto-filled from commit metadata, and you can add or correct one inline from the team roster.)
  2. Create a survey — pick one or more templates, customize questions, and choose who receives it — by team or the whole company.
  3. Send — DevPerform emails each engineer a unique tokenized link with a time estimate. They answer on a hosted page — no login required. Set an optional deadline.
  4. Reminders — automatic reminders nudge people who haven’t responded before the deadline.
Slack delivery (higher response rates) is on the roadmap; email is the channel today.

Anonymity by default

Engineers’ individual answers are never exposed. Results only become visible once a survey (or a filtered segment) has at least the minimum number of responses — 4 by default, configurable in Org Settings. Below that threshold, DevPerform shows “not enough responses yet” instead of anything that could de-anonymize a small group. This is core to the product’s stance: surveys are for understanding the team, not surveilling individuals. See Reading results.
