Unscheduled Slack DMs, ad-hoc meetings, support escalations. Target: <8/week.

Developer eNPS Trend by Team

Monthly survey, 0–10 scale. eNPS = % Promoters (9–10) - % Detractors (0–6). Mobile team showing sharp decline in Q4.

Action Required: Mobile team health is in critical state following Q4 attrition event (3 senior departures to Devflow Inc.) and simultaneous onboarding of 6 new engineers. Recommend: (1) Pause new feature work for 1 sprint; (2) Assign pairing mentors; (3) Conduct blameless retro on onboarding process gaps.
Comparing 5 teams across 6 health signals over 12-week window. Mobile team showing recovery trajectory but remains at risk. North-star metric (Committed Velocity Reliability) tracking 6% below target; primary drag from Mobile (36% miss rate). Data Infra and Frontend Web operating at sustainable high performance.
