Most tools in this space are about the efficiency of the development flow, sometimes down to the individual's level. With Echoes we're trying a different angle which is less about the efficiency of the process, and more about the value and the impact of our efforts. We are deliberately staying away from anything that could be interpreted as a proxy for individual performance.
We believe that the bottleneck to most organizations is not engineer's productivity but a lack of clarity & focus, and improving the development process alone is a bandaid rather than a solution. In the end Echoes tells you less about the quality of the engineer's work, and more about the quality of the organizational context.
