๐ฏ๐ฉโ๐ SPACE vs DORA: Ask Trisha...
SPACE is a framework for thinking about developer productivity.
The acronym stands for:
S โ Satisfaction & wellโbeing
How happy, healthy and engaged developers are (job satisfaction, stress, burnout, perceived productivity).
P โ Performance
Outcomes and quality of work, not just volume (business impact, reliability, user value).
A โ Activity
Observable work done (commits, reviews, deployments, tickets), interpreted carefully.
C โ Communication & collaboration
How effectively people and teams interact (code reviews, crossโteam coordination, information flow).
E โ Efficiency & flow
How smoothly work progresses (cycle time, time in โflowโ, waiting/queueing, interruptions, context switching).
The key idea: you should not measure productivity with only one type of metric (like just activity or just output); you choose a small, balanced set of metrics across several SPACE dimensions.
