Case Study: Autodesk boosts developer productivity with Faros

Autodesk boosts developer productivity with Faros as release cadence shifts from annual to quarterly and monthly

Autodesk, a leader in 3D design and engineering software, faced significant productivity challenges as it transitioned to a cloud-based platform company. The scale and complexity introduced by this shift, with numerous interdependent engineering teams, created inefficiencies and struggles with managing dependencies. To address this, Autodesk partnered with vendor Faros to adopt a data-driven approach to developer productivity.

Using the Faros platform, Autodesk implemented and tracked DORA metrics to establish a common framework for measuring performance. This solution enabled continuous improvement and a faster, more frequent release cadence across teams. The measurable results included connecting engineering work directly to business outcomes and customer value, fostering a culture of collaboration and objective analysis over individual vocal complaints.
