In an ever-evolving tech world, organisations need to innovate quickly while keeping up high standards of quality and performance. The key to achieving these goals is empowering engineering leaders with the right tools and technologies.
Typo is a software intelligence platform that optimizes software delivery by identifying real-time bottlenecks in SDLC, automating code reviews, and measuring developer experience. We aim to help organizations ship reliable software faster and build high-performing teams.
However, engineering leaders often struggle to bridge the divide between traditional management practices and modern software development leading to missed opportunities for growth, ineffective team dynamics, and slower progress in achieving organizational goals.
To address this gap, we launched groCTO, a community designed specifically for engineering leaders.
Effective engineering leadership is crucial for building high-performing teams and driving innovation. However, many leaders face significant challenges and gaps that hinder their effectiveness. The role of an engineering leader is both demanding and essential. From aligning teams with strategic goals to managing complex projects and fostering a positive culture, they have a lot on their plates. Hence, leaders need to have the right direction and support so they can navigate the challenges and guide their teams efficiently.
Here’s when groCTO comes in!
groCTO is a community designed to empower engineering managers on their leadership journey. The aim is to help engineering leaders evolve, navigate complex technical challenges, and drive innovative solutions to create groundbreaking software. Engineering leaders can connect, learn, and grow to enhance their capabilities and, in turn, the performance of their teams.
Over 73% of successful tech leaders believe having a mentor is key to their success.
At groCTO, we recognize mentorship as a powerful tool for addressing leadership challenges and offering personalised support and fresh perspectives.

Dev teams hold great importance in the engineering organization. They are essential for building high-quality software products, fostering innovation, and driving the success of technology companies in today’s competitive market.
However, engineering leaders need to understand the bottlenecks holding them back. Since these blindspots can directly affect the projects. Hence, this is when software development analytics tools come to your rescue. And these analytics software stands better when they have various features and integrations, engineering leaders are usually looking out for.
Typo is an intelligent engineering platform that is used for gaining visibility, removing blockers, and maximizing developer effectiveness. Let’s know more about why engineering leaders prefer to choose Typo as their important tool:
Engineering metrics are the measurements of engineering outputs and processes. However, there isn’t a pre-defined set of metrics that the software development teams use to measure to ensure success. This depends on various factors including team size, the background of the team members, and so on.
Typo’s customized DORA (Deployment frequency, Change failure rate, Lead time, and Mean Time to Recover) key metrics and other engineering metrics can be configured in a single dashboard based on specific development processes. This helps benchmark the dev team’s performance and identifies real-time bottlenecks, sprint delays, and blocked PRs. With the user-friendly interface and tailored integrations, engineering leaders can get all the relevant data within minutes and drive continuous improvement.
Code review is all about improving the code quality. It improves the software teams’ productivity and streamlines the development process. However, when done manually, the code review process can be time-consuming and takes a lot of effort.
Typo’s automated code review tool auto-analyses codebase and pull requests to find issues and auto-generates fixes before it merges to master. It understands the context of your code and quickly finds and fixes any issues accurately, making pull requests easy and stress-free. It standardizes your code, reducing the risk of a software security breach and boosting maintainability, while also providing insights into code coverage and code complexity for thorough analysis.
While a burndown chart helps visually monitor teams’ work progress, it is time-consuming and doesn’t provide insights about the specific types of issues or tasks. Hence, it is always advisable to complement it with sprint analysis tools to provide additional insights tailored to agile project management.
Typo has an effective sprint analysis feature that tracks and analyzes the team’s progress throughout a sprint. It uses data from Git and the issue management tool to provide insights into getting insights on how much work has been completed, how much work is still in progress, and how much time is left in the sprint. This helps in identifying potential problems in the early stages, identifying areas where teams can be more efficient, and meeting deadlines.
When engineering metrics focus on individual success rather than team performance, it creates a sense of surveillance rather than support. This leads to decreased motivation, productivity, and trust among development teams. Hence, there are better ways to use the engineering metrics.
Typo has a metrics dashboard that focuses on the team’s health and performance. It lets engineering leaders compare the team’s results with what healthy benchmarks across industries look like and drive impactful initiatives for your team. Since it considers only the team’s goals, it lets team members work together and solve problems together. Hence, fosters a healthier and more productive work environment conducive to innovation and growth.
Measuring developer experience not only focuses on quantitative metrics but also requires qualitative feedback as well. By prioritizing the human side of team members and developer productivity, engineering managers can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for them.
Typo helps in getting a 360 view of the developer experience as it captures qualitative insights and provides an in-depth view of the real issues that need attention. With signals from work patterns and continuous AI-driven pulse check-ins on the experience of developers in the team, Typo helps with early indicators of their well-being and actionable insights on the areas that need your attention. It also tracks the work habits of developers across multiple activities, such as Commits, PRs, Reviews, Comments, Tasks, and Merges, over a certain period. If these patterns consistently exceed the average of other developers or violate predefined benchmarks, the system identifies them as being in the Burnout zone or at risk of burnout.
The more the tools can be integrated with software, the better it is for the software developers. It streamlines the development process, enforces standardization and consistency, and provides access to valuable resources and functionalities.
Typo lets you see the complete picture of your engineering health by seamlessly connecting to your tech tool stack. This includes:
