At Leanmote we collect information to get to know people, understand them, and contribute to their wellbeing. Our objective is to provide the solution to companies to build better working environments in a world with growing complexities.
How we collect and interpret information
We want to get to know people, without bothering them. That’s not an easy task when they are working, focused on what they have to do, maybe meeting deadlines, and dealing with pressures.
Leanmote offers an indirect way to collect data in addition to survey insight by connecting with productivity apps- like Slack, Jira, Google Meets, Teams and more- that the company already uses.
Understanding the general data lifecycle:
Image rights: A Beginner’s Guide to Data & Analytics, Harvard EBook.
“A data project’s steps are often described as a cycle because the lessons learned and insights gleaned from one project typically inform the next. In this way, the final step of the process feeds back into the first, enabling you to start again with new goals and learnings”, A Beginner’s Guide to Data & Analytics, Harvard EBook.
Also, the value of the data improves when you connect as many apps as you can because we cross all the information. This enables Leanmote to offer a closer look to reality.
3 levels of showing data
Leanmote gives the power of managing data to every person that uses the platform.
User/Employee: sees its own data and chooses what’s shown to others.
Imagine that you are with the computer, at working hours and you receive an email from HR with a climate survey. You have to stop what you are doing, fill the form and send it. What happens with that information? Who sees it? Where does it go?
With Leanmote, you can see this information. We enlighten people with their own data first, at real-time. When you accept to complete a survey or answer a question, you can instantly check it on the dashboard. In addition, anyone can go to settings and choose what to display for other members of the company.
I complete a survey or answer a question, and instantly check it on my dashboard. In addition, everyone can go to settings and choose what to display for other members of the company.
Manager/Team Leader: each team decides how to show their information.
The manager sees the team’s information when there are four or more people on their team. Analyzing their team’s data in real-time, gives them the opportunity to unlock customized management and better lead their colleagues.
C-Level/ People and Culture Leader: sees the protected and aggregated information at every team or department level
They can access all data but they don’t have unlimited power. Everyone has the control of their own data. This level analyzes the information that each team of the company chose to give.
Our 6 ethical principles
⭐Your data is yours. We don’t share it with anyone else.
⭐You choose what to share and with whom.
⭐You connect Leanmote with your working apps.
If we detect that someone is stressed, we send options about what to do with the situation to that person. We don’t send it to the manager so that it can decide over someone’s personal moment.
As Leanmote is API based, the more you connect your apps with the platform, the better information it will collect. This way, Leanmote can be your frictionless and single source of truth.
This principle is about honesty and consent, making sure that the user understands and accepts what type of data we collect.
Users know from day one that we are constantly gathering data and we give them the control of it. They can check their data and choose not to share it on the same platform. Also, we are transparent about why Leanmote collects information.
Leanmote ensures a strong security to all your data. We know that we handle important information that requires the highest levels of protection.
The platform has multiple-factor authentication: password, push notification and Google Authenticator. Also, all data is stored in Amazon Web Services (AWS) which provides safety and strict privacy.
Each user can choose what to show and only the company can see it.
If we talk about ethics, we should talk about intentions. Our intentions are good, Leanmote provides companies with their people data to enhance their working experience. We collect only the data that is useful for this purpose.
What do we mean by enhancing the daily working life of people? To give information so organizations can make intelligent decisions towards their employees. For example, with data we can prevent isolation, burnout, discontent, misunderstandings and more.
It’s all about the context! The holistic point of view that we offer is important to interpret data.
We provide information to analyze the state of human interaction at work. The variety and amount of information that it’s collected let us give accurate data about all users.
We accept feedback because we want to do better every time. If you detect any mistake, please contact us to point it out.
Terms based on these principles
Before you start using the platform, you can see our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We have based our terms with these ethics criteria. Check it out!
DORA Metrics, or DevOps Research and Assessment metrics, are like measuring sticks used in software development to see how well teams are doing. They look at how fast software is being made and how often it breaks. These metrics are helpful but don’t always tell the whole story.
Going Beyond DORA Metrics
Do you have your own DORA metrics dashboard? Ok, it’s great at pointing out problems, like if there’s a big slowdown in the work process. But here’s the catch: it doesn’t tell you how to fix the problems it finds. It’s like going to the doctor, finding out what’s wrong, but then having to figure out the cure on your own.
That’s where Leanmote comes in. It doesn’t rely just on DORA metrics tools; it looks at team dynamics to get a clearer picture. It gathers data from tools like GitLab and Jira, where developers work on code and track progress. But it doesn’t stop there. It also looks at everyday tools like Slack and Google Calendar to see how teams are communicating and coordinating their work.
Rethinking Metrics and Context
Productivity can’t be measured solely by developers’ productivity tools and surveys. This may not provide a complete understanding of how developers operate, because it’s not all about the coding, it’s the context in which you are working too. What about the chats? What about the project management tools, the assigned tickets, and the number of events on the calendar?
While productivity tools and surveys offer valuable insights, they should be supplemented with a more comprehensive set of metrics to capture the complexities of work. These could be brainstorming meetings or collaborative moments.
In a recent report from Deloitte’s 2024 Global Human Capital Trends, it is highlighted that there is a need to rethink traditional productivity metrics. This report claims that organizations are getting better at tracking how well people work and what makes them perform better. This is because they can collect, measure, and analyze data much faster than before. They can then use machine learning or human judgment to turn this data into useful advice. For example, they can use a method called organizational network analysis to see how people in a company connect and work together.
The ultimate real metrics you need
To gain a holistic view, we consider three critical areas of measurement:
Performance: go from uncertainty about team efficiency to gaining insight through metrics like story points and time duration, allowing us to prioritize tasks, justify delays, and improve quality by addressing issues like bugs and incidents.
Time efficiency: the lack of structure in meetings and time spent hurts workload and efficiency. By tracking time, Leanmote makes alignment visible and finds ways to improve time management.
Connectivity. Internal Connectivity:Not knowing why someone has low pull request activity is a problem. Tracking their merging time and improving team connections boosts productivity.
External Connectivity: Measuring project complexity by stakeholder involvement. Identifying alignment costs, stakeholder numbers in sprints, and commitment levels make project management smoother.
But, (yes, a “but”), it’s not just about setting metrics. It’s about striking the right balance between different aspects to ensure a sustainable and productive development environment. To these, you have to add the counter-metrics, for example:
Performance vs. Connectivity: Workload. If you have many stakeholders, it will impact your workload as you need to align many things.
Performance vs. Time Efficiency: Working beyond regular hours affects productivity. How many meetings are held per sprint?
Delivery vs. Performance: If I know I need to increase deployment frequency but have a heavy workload and many stakeholders, I need to take that into account. DORA tells you what’s happening today but not why. Leanmote tells you why: if the project is more significant if there are many people involved, and many tickets, etc.
