Multitudes's Feedback Flows chart showing who is giving and receiving feedback on a team, color-coded by seniority levels that can be set within the app.

😍 You can now customize seniority levels in the Multitudes app!

No two teams have the exact same level setup, so we’re happy to announce that you can now configure the levels of team members in order to provide color-coding on our Feedback Flows chart. More here: docs.multitudes.com/configuratio...

📅 Our new Feedback Themes feature is out 📅

We're all about giving you more insights into your code reviews, and this new feature identifies patterns in feedback given so you can spot hot topics for your team. Read more in our help docs: docs.multitudes.com/metrics-and-...

A chart showing our Feedback Quality feature, now with improved insights that add context to your feedback data to help your team spot what to focus on first.

A chart with the H1 "we listened: improvements to how we show "negative feedback". This shows how we updated the framing of negative feedback to "needs attention" – because models miss things that humans know!

This shows two separate images – one is a chart that provides insights on 1:1 feedback received, and also a pane where you can customize specific rules around Feedback Quality on the app i.e. phrases to exclude.

Feedback Quality v2 is live!

A bunch of you told us what you loved about v1 and what we could do to make it even better, so we listened (and made changes)!

Thanks for helping us reclassify feedback, and flagging when our model read too much into the use of cheeky emojis. More here: bit.ly/46fkgXn

Honeycomb did alert reporting 10x faster with Multitudes - chart showing disrupted hours trending down.

Quote: If our team wants to look at the on-call data on a weekly basis instead of a quarterly basis, it’s easy now. - Fred Hebert, Staff Site Reliability Engineer

@honeycomb.io needed to track and report the human impact of on-call alerts.

Together, we co-designed a solution that cut their reporting time by 90% and provided transparent reporting on the impact of alerts.

How this works in practice ➡️ The view shows the distinct number of calendar hours disrupted by pages. For example, if there are pages at 6.30pm, 7.15pm, and 7.25pm, we would count two disrupted hours (6-7pm, and 7-8pm).

With this new view, you’ll be able to clearly see the difference between concentrated and distributed disruptions to better understand the human impact on your team.

That’s why we’ve launched a new Disrupted Hours chart view – now you can use our in-chart toggles to view page disruptions based on the total number of pages or the distinct number of hours disrupted by pages. 🤩

Looking after your team’s wellbeing while managing on-call page disruptions can be a juggle. PagerDuty research found that 54% of page responders are being interrupted outside of normal working hours.

The wellbeing impact of being paged 5 times over 5 hours is larger than 5 times in one hour.

🚨 New analysis: Disrupted hours: Get clear insights on the human impact of page disruptions. 🚨

Lead author, Alessandra will be presenting the research at CHASE2025 (co-located with ICSE).

Big thanks to the research participants and co-authors Alessandra, @margaretstorey.bsky.social, @vivekkatial.bsky.social, and @lpeate.bsky.social for all your hard work bringing this research to life! 👏

The research discusses the perceived tension between being human-centric AND data-driven; teams want to be both but struggle with how.

What helps is building trust and being transparent with the use of metrics, because those support psychological safety. 💡

Exploring Retrospective Meeting Practices and the Use of Data in Agile Teams Retrospectives are vital for software development teams to continuously enhance their processes and teamwork. Despite the increasing availability of objective data generated throughout the project and...

Proud to share our original research, now available on arXiv! Co-authors, @uvic.ca PhD candidate Alessandra M Paz Milani, @margaretstorey.bsky.social, @vivekkatial.bsky.social, and @lpeate.bsky.social explore how engineering teams take action on data in retros. Read more👇
