Summary
- Burnout symptoms are often a result of suboptimal procedures and working conditions. They are signs of a serious and protracted illness.
- Especially, burnout of software developers is more widespread than one might suspect. It hits companies via increased employee turnover, reduced team productivity and above-average sick leave just as hard as the affected employees.
- Amongst many other reasons, “meaningless” work, frequently changing priorities, unrealistic goals, deadlines, and overwork are disproportionately often named as causes.
- Early indicators for these most important burnout causes can be identified from the work on the software code with the DETANGLE Analysis Suite.
- With these analysis results, project leaders/-management have information at hand to identify health-threatening working conditions of their developers at an early stage and can initiate countermeasures timely.
- By regularly applying these analyses, additional information regarding the trend of the relevant key metrics will become available. Over time it becomes increasingly easy to narrow down the causes of a developer’s burnout and to avoid it before the individual and as a consequence, the organisation is seriously impacted.
