The Impact of Development Friction
Why friction hurts engineering teams
Lost Capacity
Engineering teams spend significant time on non-value-adding activities and waiting.
Higher Cost per Feature
Friction increases development costs and reduces your ROI on engineering talent.
Slow Time-to-Market
Delays in development cycles mean missed market opportunities and slower innovation.
Developer Frustration
Talented engineers become demotivated when productivity is blocked by inefficient processes.
Low Predictability
Friction makes delivery timelines unpredictable and complicates planning.
KPI based Analyses for more Productivity
Calculate Your Development Friction Cost
Estimate how much capacity your team loses every month due to friction – slow builds, long reviews, waiting time and interruptions.
Estimated impact
Monthly friction cost: –
Yearly friction cost: –
Lost engineering capacity: –
Potential break-even with DX engagement: –
This calculator provides a rough estimate based on your inputs. Real-world results depend on your specific context and constraints.
My Why
I believe engineering should be a place where people can think clearly, solve problems, and build meaningful systems without unnecessary friction. My work exists to protect that space.
