Meet Engineering 360: Your hub for developer experience

Most developers spend only a fraction of their time on building new features—held back by internal friction, tech debt, flaky workflows, unclear ownership, and scattered tools. (Source: Gartner, Emerging Tech: AI Developer Tools Must Span SDLC Phases to Deliver Value, 29 January 2025). The 2025 State of Internal Developer Portals report also found that 75% of developers lose between 6-15 hours weekly due to tool sprawl. So where does their time go?

Find out what’s holding your engineers back from delivering with Port’s Engineering 360. Port is the only solution that combines engineering intelligence analysis with the ability to address bottlenecks in a complete developer portal.

Reclaiming developer time and driving real DevEx impact

As platform engineering gained traction across the industry, a new challenge emerged: Where should we focus our DevEx efforts to make the biggest impact? That’s the question we built Engineering 360 to answer.

From conversations with platform teams, engineering leaders, and DevEx champions, a pattern emerged: "We know there are productivity gaps, but we don’t know exactly where—or how—to prioritize them."

Internal platform teams, despite their best intentions, often lacked a clear, data-backed understanding of how developer friction impacted productivity. Although DORA metrics and developer surveys were available, their data existed in separate silos, which hindered the ability to integrate results and improvements into current workflows. Consequently, platform teams were left to guess when prioritizing which issues to address.

We launched Engineering 360 to help engineering organizations close that loop: to gather insights, prioritize efforts, and turn feedback into visible outcomes. Survey engineering, operations, security, and other teams to surface frustrations—and back up that sentiment with quantitative metrics using frameworks like DORA. Once blockers are identified, Port provides the automation and streamlined workflows to resolve them, measure and celebrate wins, and build a culture of continuous improvement.  It’s not just about improving visibility—it’s about increasing velocity.

From insight to action—all within your internal developer portal

There are incredible tools for measuring engineering health, from dashboards to developer analytics platforms. But we wanted to go a step further with Port, and help you turn insights into action, right where it matters most.

Developers often speak of “getting into the flow” or “being in the zone.” Essentially, these descriptions are talking about flow state. That's when you're completely absorbed in what you're doing, feeling focused, engaged, and actually enjoying it.

To keep them in the flow you want to fix tool sprawl. You want to cut down cognitive load. You want to improve your team's velocity.

That means cutting down developers’ idle time—the dead space between deep work sessions caused by flaky CI pipelines, broken developer workflows, or waiting on manual approvals from DevOps or SRE teams. Every interruption fractures focus. Every blocker breaks the flow.

When developers maintain their flow throughout the day, their productivity doesn’t just grow linearly—it skyrockets exponentially, and they feel more fulfilled putting in the extra effort. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Port already centralizes key aspects of the developer experience — which makes it the natural best place to continuously drive these improvements and track their impact.

Engineering 360 builds on this best-in-class experience, transforming the portal into a DevEx command center—where feedback, metrics, and automation come together to proactively clear friction points before they derail momentum.

With Engineering 360, you can finally align your internal portal with what developers truly need to stay productive, focused, and fast.

What Engineering 360 helps you do

Engineering 360 isn’t just another dashboard—it's a full-stack DevEx solution integrated directly into your developer portal. Here's how it empowers you to drive real, measurable improvements across your organization:

1. Combine quantitative and qualitative insights: Engineering 360 bridges delivery metrics (like DORA) and developer sentiment into a unified view. See where friction exists and validate it with data, not guesswork.
2. Launch targeted developer surveys: Create and distribute contextual surveys through Slack, email, and your developer portal. Use intelligent nudges to maximize response rates and capture high-fidelity feedback without interrupting workflows.
3. Pinpoint and prioritize friction: Whether it's broken onboarding, unreliable CI/CD pipelines, or unclear internal documentation—Engineering 360 helps you locate the bottlenecks and prioritize fixes that matter most.
4. Focus DevEx investments for maximum impact: Instead of guessing where to invest platform engineering resources, Engineering 360 highlights the friction points that are slowing developers down the most—allowing for precise, ROI-driven prioritization.
5. Track progress over time: Build a continuous improvement loop by measuring sentiment and delivery metrics over time. See how interventions (new tooling, process changes, platform updates) actually impact developer happiness and velocity.
6. Demonstrate ROI to leadership: Engineering 360 provides platform teams and DevEx champions with clear, actionable reports to showcase improvements in developer satisfaction, productivity, and platform adoption, helping them prove the value of their work.

With Engineering 360, platform teams move from reactive firefighting to proactive experience engineering—creating a smoother, faster, and more satisfying environment for developers to build great software.

Why Engineering 360 is different

There’s no shortage of tools for measuring performance or collecting feedback. But too often, those insights live in isolation. Teams end up asking: "We have the data—now what?"

Engineering 360 brings the data to life—right inside the developer portal. We built the first developer experience intelligence platform designed to guide action—natively inside the platform you already use to support your developers. By connecting sentiment with delivery metrics, it enables platform teams to act on what matters, without waiting for failure signals.

Similarly, there are amazing tools out there for tracking productivity and engineering health. But with Engineering 360, we focused on helping teams turn insights into progress. 

By embedding feedback, delivery metrics, and improvement workflows directly into Port, we give developers and platform teams the tools to identify friction and act on it independently. This not only enhances autonomy, but also reflects the growing industry shift toward enabling developers through internal platforms.

What’s next

Teams are already using Engineering 360 to identify hidden friction, prioritize platform work, and improve the experience of software development. And this is just the beginning. If you want to join them, check out our docs on creating surveys and tracking DORA metrics in your portal.
