What is Pullpo

Pullpo is a platform designed to improve engineering team performance and Developer Experience (DevEx). We help you:

1. Gain Visibility with Insights: Understand your development process deeply using engineering metrics (like Cycle Time, Throughput, Change Failure Rate) combined with qualitative developer feedback. This allows engineering leaders (Managers, VPs, CTOs) to identify bottlenecks, make data-informed decisions, prioritize internal initiatives, and validate their impact over time.

2. Promote Collaboration with PR-Channels: Improve the speed and quality of code reviews by bringing focused communication directly into Slack. This provides immediate value to developers by reducing friction and context switching. Alerts and reminders help the team stay on top of things reducing the number of pull requests that go stale.

Pullpo bridges the gap between high-level strategic improvements and the day-to-day developer workflow, creating a culture of continuous improvement backed by data and efficient communication.

What issues does Pullpo address?

Lack of visibility into process bottlenecks

Without objective data, it's difficult for managers to pinpoint exactly where delays occur in the development lifecycle or understand the true impact of process changes. Gut feelings aren't enough to drive effective improvements.

• Pullpo - Insights provides clear metrics to visualize your team's workflow. It combines quantitative data with targeted developer feedback to uncover the "why" behind the numbers, revealing hidden friction points.

Difficulty validating initiatives

How do you know if that new testing strategy or tool adoption actually improved DevEx or speed? Tracking the success of internal initiatives requires consistent measurement.

• Pullpo - Insights allows you to track key metrics over time, run quarterly DevEx surveys, set goals, and see the tangible impact of changes you implement. Validate initiatives and demonstrate progress to stakeholders.

Capturing feedback at the right time

Developers often have valuable insights about process friction when it happens, but these can be forgotten by the time a retrospective meeting occurs.

• Pullpo - Insights intelligently prompts developers for feedback linked to specific events or metric deviations, capturing fresh, relevant insights at the right time.

Slow code reviews

Code reviews are crucial but can stall. Discussions scattered across GitHub comments, Slack DMs, and unrelated channels lead to delays, lost context, and notification fatigue for developers.

• Pullpo - PR Channels creates a dedicated, ephemeral Slack channel for each pull request. It centralizes communication and involves the right people while reducing noise on unrelated channels, seamlessly synced with your repository on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.

Who benefits from Pullpo?

CTOs and Engineering Managers

Use Pullpo - Insights to get a clear, data-driven view of your team's performance, development lifecycle, and potential bottlenecks.

• Make Informed Decisions: Leverage metrics and developer feedback to prioritize initiatives that will have the most significant impact on DevEx and productivity.
• Track improvement over time: Set measurable goals for your team and monitor progress, demonstrating the effectiveness of your strategies.
• Improve performance across all squads: Identify what's working well and replicate successes across teams, building a culture of data-informed optimization.

The development team

With Pullpo - PR Channels the right people get notified at the right times. Developers that author or review multiple pull requests simultaneously have a dedicated space for each discussion, which keeps conversations organized and unclutters channels that were meant for other purposes.

• Reduce friction, faster Code Reviews: Get faster feedback from reviewers, merge code more quickly, and minimize time spent waiting on reviews.
• Avoid stale pull requests: Set up alerts and reminders to ensure the code review process stays on track and within expected timelines.
• Improved collaboration: Stay in sync with reviewers easily, whether they prefer commenting in Slack or directly on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.
