Deep Work

What is Deep Work?

 

💡Uplevel categorizes your team's work into two buckets:

Development time - consists of deep work and fragments. Optimized development time consists of as little fragments as possible.

Non-development time - The various types of meetings and interruptions in Slack that pull your developers away from their most important work.

 

Development Time

Deep Work Trend

Understand your organization's Deep Work baseline by taking a look at your trends over time. This chart shows you the average time your developers have to focus each day over the selected time range, compared to the equal amount of time prior.

This view makes it easy to spot dips which could correlate to an increased burnout risk.

 

 

🚧     Coming Soon: Fragments Analysis   🚧

Uplevel will be releasing insights into fragment time soon. This will help complete the picture of your team's development time, and surface further opportunities to improve focus. 

Non-Development Time

Cost Breakdown

Uplevel uses estimated allocation costs to surface the cost of non-development time for the selected time period. Costs can be a finer-grained method to prioritize the optimization of non-development time, since it takes into account the varying levels of personnel involved in a given activity.

You can learn more about how Uplevel classifies meetings here.

Meetings Trend

Understand your organization's Meetings baseline by reviewing your trend over time. This chart shows you the average time your developers spend in meetings each day over the selected time range, compared to the equal amount of time prior. Private meeting events are always excluded from this calculation.

Individual details where appropriate

Help your teams take action and make the needed improvements to meeting load and interruptions by focusing on where help is needed most.

If your organization has enabled drill-ins to see individual details, these are available where appropriate within your reporting structure.

  • By default, individual level data is visible on those who report up to you.
  • Data about those who don’t report up to you is hidden, and only the team rollup is shown.
