Development team assessment

Where does your engineering team lose time, quality or margin?

We combine delivery metrics, process observation and technical decision paths into a baseline. You then know which constraint to address first.

Discuss where to start

Thirty minutes. Bring your starting point and the most important open decision. You will receive a clear assessment of whether this entry point fits.

Starting point

Typical reasons for an assessment

Five metrics as a shared delivery languageDORA · Updated 5 January 2026, accessed 26 July 2026DORA’s current model uses five metrics to assess software delivery throughput and instability: change lead time, deployment frequency, failed deployment recovery time, change fail rate and deployment rework rate.Open primary source

  • IT costs rise while delivery speed or predictability falls behind.
  • Technical debt is suspected but has not been linked to flow and cost.
  • AI coding tools are in use without reliable impact measurement.
  • Onshore, nearshore or make-or-buy decisions rely mainly on hourly rates.

First paid step

Development team assessment

This is a management and delivery diagnosis. A full code, architecture or security audit is outside the scope.

2 to 3 days

from EUR 5,000 net

Base package for one product team, up to five interviews and six months of agreed delivery data for one product area.

You receive

  • Delivery baseline with definition and data source for each metric used
  • Process map for the agreed workflow
  • Named constraint and testable cause hypothesis
  • Three prioritized measures with effort and leading indicator
  • Decision document for leadership and technical management

All prices are net of VAT. Preparation, delivery, results documentation and the results meeting are included in the stated base scope. Travel and accommodation costs are disclosed before commissioning. If agreed items are missing at handover, Convios completes them within ten working days at no extra fee, provided your data, interviews and decisions were available on time.

From intuition to a reliable delivery decision

  1. 01

    Define measurement

    We agree metrics, data sources, product area and baseline period.

  2. 02

    Review the workflow

    Interviews and system extracts expose waiting time, handovers, rework and technical decision queues.

  3. 03

    Prioritize the constraint

    The results connect one cause hypothesis with three measures and an observable leading indicator.

What we need from you

  • An accountable executive or technical leader
  • Access to agreed delivery data and system extracts
  • Conversations with three to six key people
  • A team that can own measurement and follow-up actions

What the base scope deliberately excludes

  • Full code, architecture or security audit
  • Individual developer performance evaluation
  • Replacement of the entire toolchain
  • A guaranteed delivery or cost result

This fits in these cases

  • A concrete delivery or cost decision is pending
  • Data and key people are available
  • A limited follow-up measure can be implemented

This is not the right step yet in these cases

  • You only want to select a new development tool
  • The result is intended as an individual performance review
  • The team has no capacity for measurement and implementation

Self-assessment

Estimate cost and time loss first

The calculator makes assumptions visible. It starts a conversation but is not a delivery baseline.

DELIVERY COST CHECK

What does maintenance cost your company?

Two inputs, instant result.

Delivery cost check by Convios. Industry average, not individual analysis.

Afterwards

What may follow the assessment

A prioritized measure can become a limited delivery project. The leading indicator, economic target, owner and sign-off criteria are agreed first.

Review all three stages

Questions before you start

Do we need DORA data already?

No. Missing or inconsistent data can be a finding. We agree the most reliable sources available for the baseline.

Do you evaluate individual developers?

No. The subject is workflow, systems, decisions and team metrics.

Is a code audit included?

No. Technical samples may support a hypothesis. A full code audit needs a separate scope.

Which delivery decision needs a baseline?

We review the product area, available data and the decision that the assessment should prepare.

Discuss where to start

Thirty minutes. Bring your starting point and the most important open decision. You will receive a clear assessment of whether this entry point fits.

The call is exploratory. If there is a fit, you receive a written proposal with the agreed work, fixed fee and sign-off criteria before you decide.
