The 30-second version of what DX Core 4 is is our answer to the question 'what should we measure?' Engineering leaders are still left to answer the question for themselves, what metric should I actually pick?
Speed is great, but if you're going faster with being less effective, that's not great. Business impact is great, but if you're having a lot of business impact but your quality is going down, that's not great either.
A metric like lead time, while it's really well understood within the engineering community... when you take that metric to non-technical stakeholders or your CEO or your CFO, you often get asked questions like 'why does lead time matter?'
The framework also emphasises developer experience as an essential counterbalance to performance metrics. This emphasis attempts to address common concerns about the balance between productivity and employee satisfaction.
