With just a few inputs, we give you instant SPACE scores, benchmarks your team against industry standards, and helps you identify bottlenecks in your software development workflow.

Why It Matters

In today’s software teams, productivity isn’t just about how much code gets written—it’s about how well your team collaborates, ships quality work, and avoids burnout. That’s where SPACE metrics come in. The SPACE Framework is a widely adopted model developed by researchers at GitHub, Microsoft, and the University of Victoria. It measures engineering effectiveness across five dimensions:

  • Satisfaction and Well‑Being

  • Performance

  • Activity

  • Collaboration and Communication

  • Efficiency and Flow

Unlike traditional metrics, SPACE gives a more complete view of developer effectiveness and experience.

How It Works

  1. Enter Your Data

    • Add simple inputs like number of PRs merged, average cycle time, and review rates.

    • You can also include optional survey data for satisfaction and collaboration signals.


  2. Get Your SPACE Scores

    • The tool automatically calculates your scores across each SPACE dimension—instantly.


  3. Take Action

    • Use the insights to set goals, track improvements, or inform your retros.
