A few days ago, we shared insights from Network Perspective’s report on Developer Experience in Polish teams — the first large-scale look at how local engineering cultures shape delivery speed, clarity, and satisfaction.

Now, we’re diving deeper.

This time, Anita Zbieg, CEO & Co-founder of Network Perspective — and our guest speaker at http://Sphere.it Connect — expands the lens globally in her new Developer Experience Research Project e-book.

📘https://www.networkperspective.io/developer-experience-research-ebook
In her http://Sphere.it Connect talk, “From Delivery Outputs to Inputs: DORA, DevEx, and Beyond,” Anita explored how leading tech organizations are redefining developer productivity by focusing on the inputs that truly drive outcomes — clarity, collaboration, and flow.

This e-book builds directly on that idea, offering:

🔎A research-backed framework of 29 factors across 5 key DevEx dimensions
⚙️Actionable ways to measure and improve developer experience in your teams
🧠Real-world practices from top engineering organizations
🌱A blueprint for sustainable team performance and satisfaction

At http://Sphere.it, we’re proud to keep this conversation going — helping engineering leaders connect delivery excellence with human experience.

At Sphere.it Connect this February, Anita Zbieg (Network Perspective) joined us to unpack a critical question every engineering leader should ask:

What really drives developer productivity—outputs, or the day-to-day experience that shapes how those outputs are created?

In her session, “From Delivery Outputs to Inputs: DORA, DevEx, and Beyond,” Anita explored how leading tech organizations are shifting from chasing delivery metrics to improving the inputs — clarity, focus, collaboration, and psychological flow — that truly influence delivery speed, ease, and quality.
Now, her team has published the first comprehensive study of Developer Experience (DevEx) in Polish teams — and it’s a must-read for anyone building high-performing software organizations:

🔗https://www.networkperspective.io/devex-w-polskich-zespolach

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

🇵🇱 Data-driven insights into how Polish engineering teams really work
⚙️ What separates high-performing teams from those stuck in delivery chaos
🤖 How AI can either accelerate excellence or amplify dysfunction
⏱️ Practical steps for improving developer experience in your org

At http://sphere.it/, we’re excited to see this conversation grow — from global frameworks like DORA to local DevEx insights that help teams measure what matters.

Another speaker joins our lineup for SphereConnect 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻𝘀! 🎤

🟢 We’re excited to welcome 𝗔𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘇𝗸𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗮ł𝗸𝗼, 𝗣𝗵𝗗 with her talk:
“Let’s build AI – no data, no budget, no people. Sure, why not.”

Everyone wants AI. But what if you’re handed:

❌ no clean data
❌ no dedicated team
❌ no real budget
❌ and no clue who’s supposed to own the model

Agnieszka will share real lessons from AI projects that somehow still made it into production - navigating chaos, shortcuts, and wishful thinking along the way.

This session is for anyone who’s had to deliver something useful in less-than-ideal circumstances (so… most of us 😅).

📅 Join us at SphereConnect 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝟯𝟬.𝟬𝟵.
