Born from the practice of people who build software every day.
Devint is an Espresso Labs product. Before it reached the market, it was one software studio's internal answer to a hard question: how do you measure the productivity of technology teams without turning metrics into judgment?
An Espresso Labs product.
Espresso Labs builds software at scale: thousands of digital products already built and delivered — applications, platforms and systems for companies of every size and sector.
Running many teams at the same time creates a problem few companies face at that intensity: understanding, with real criteria, how each team and each person is performing — without relying on gut feeling and without creating a culture of surveillance.
DevScore came out of that real need. It was designed, tested and refined inside Espresso Labs' own operation, cycle after cycle, before it became a product. Devint is that method, opened up to the market.
- Concurrent teams across dozens of different stacks and contexts
- Continuous cycles of delivery, review and operation, year after year
- A measurement method distilled from all of that experience
What that experience taught us.
Every choice in Devint — the six dimensions, the reference bands, the saturation ceiling — comes from patterns observed in practice, one delivery cycle at a time.
Patterns observed in practice
Thousands of delivered projects helped show what healthy teams tend to have in common: delivery cadence, contribution that sticks, consistent time logging. The DevScore reference bands come from that observation.
Tested in-house first
Every dimension, weight and range ran on Espresso Labs' own teams before it reached a single client. Whatever did not help the management conversation was cut; whatever created artificial incentives was capped with a ceiling.
Built for real operations
People who ship software every day have no time for a new ceremony. Devint plugs into the flow that already exists — repositories, time logging, leadership reviews — and organizes evidence, not rituals.
From operation to product.
The scale
Thousands of products delivered and many teams running in parallel raised an honest question: how do we know, with real criteria, whether we are performing well?
The method
DevScore is created for internal use: six dimensions, reference bands and biweekly closings, refined cycle by cycle inside the operation itself.
The product
The method becomes a platform and reaches the market as Devint — so teams of any size can measure productivity with real criteria, adapting weights and ranges to their own reality.
But who is behind the product?
“We measure because we build — and, by building, we learned how much a healthy team changes everything.”
