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 responses4 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.
