How to Measure GitHub Copilot’s Impact on Your Team (and Why You Should Start Now)
GitHub Copilot is the talk of the town for developers. It promises faster coding, smarter suggestions, and an overall better developer experience. But here’s the catch: Is it actually delivering on those promises for your team?
KPMG recently published an insightful report about GitHub Copilot adoption, exploring how organizations are leveraging it to improve productivity and code quality. If you haven’t read it, don’t worry I’ll give you the gist of it and show you how tools like DevDynamics take these insights to the next level.
KPMG’s Key Findings: A Quick Overview
KPMG’s report sheds light on how GitHub Copilot is reshaping developer workflows. Here are the highlights:
- Adoption is solid. 81% of users said Copilot doesn’t disrupt their workflow.
- Productivity gains are real. Developers save an average of 4.5 hours per week with Copilot.
- Confidence is up. 62% of respondents felt more confident in their code, and 80% reported improved learning and development.
- Team collaboration improves. 61% said Copilot helped with knowledge sharing and collaboration.
These are impressive stats, no doubt. But the question remains: What do these numbers actually mean for your team?
What questions do we need to answer now?
With Co-pilot bring the norm we need to look at the on-the-ground challenges:
- Who’s benefiting the most? Are junior developers leveraging Copilot better than seniors? What about QA teams or architects?
- What’s the ROI? Does saving 4.5 hours per week translate to faster delivery, or is the time just redistributed elsewhere?
- How do you drive better adoption? If some teams are struggling to make Copilot work, how do you fix that?
That’s where DevDynamics’ Copilot Adoption Report comes in, offering granular insights that go beyond averages.
