What is 'how are you'?

'how are you' is a holistic, developer-focused solution that helps engineering managers lead their dev teams with compassion, context, and a sense of direction.

'how are you' focuses on 4 core areas during engineering 1:1 meetings. They are:

  • Wellbeing, to see how happy developers are working on projects, in teams, and at the company;
  • Team feedback, gathered from teammates, and investigates potential frictions and encourages synergies;
  • Career growth, where managers help engineers explore ways to upskill, set goals, and forge career paths;
  • Work output, which is a context-based conversation starter about code commits, pull requests, code review comments, and documentation updates.

How does 'how are you' work?

'how are you' connects to Github and Jira to extract developer data that is provided to engineering managers in context. The data is visually presented and is actionable and easy to understand. 'how are you' is also meant to steer engineering managers toward having meaningful and empathetic conversations with their software engineers.

Engineering managers use 'how are you' to:

✔️ Improve developers' work habits & productivity
✔️ Gather feedback & share praise
✔️️ Keep developers' skills fresh & current
✔️ Help developers set & achieve goals
✔️ Identify patterns that result in bottlenecks
✔️ Unite teams, even at a distance
✔️️ Detect burnout and intervene before it’s too late
