Free self-assessment · Engineering Friction Check

Where is friction slowing your engineering organization?

Nine questions. Three areas of delivery friction. One clearer starting point.

Identify patterns worth investigating across delivery flow, Developer Experience and engineering decisions. This lightweight self-assessment does not connect to your repositories and is not a validated engineering performance benchmark.

How to use it

Answer based on recent experience, not ideals.

For each statement, indicate how often it describes your engineering organization. Your answers are evaluated locally in the browser and are not submitted to Axelerant.

Area 01 · Delivery Flow

How work gets from change to release

01 Changes regularly wait in code review or approval queues.
02 CI, testing or deployment pipelines delay engineers’ feedback.
03 Delivery commitments slip because blockers emerge late.

Area 02 · Developer Experience

How well the system supports engineers

04 Routine environment or deployment workflows require manual help.
05 Teams repeatedly work around the same tooling or setup problems.
06 Unclear ownership interrupts engineering work or creates handoffs.

Area 03 · Decisions & Improvement

How improvement initiatives are chosen and verified

07 Engineering priorities change without clear evidence of impact.
08 AI-generated changes add review or testing work without clear delivery gains.
09 Improvement initiatives begin without a baseline or a named owner.
