"Succeeding in the rapidly changing software market space necessitates understanding the people who build and influence the education, experience, and evolution of software products for end users—insights from this report benefit every DevRel professional and the organizations that depend on them."
"The results of the annual developer relations survey are a 'must read' for anyone in the profession, as they offer valuable insights, validation, and ideas for how we can be better practitioners. It's critical that the developer relations industry grows and thrives because a healthy devrel ecosystem means trustworthy, user-friendly and impactful developer products and programs!"
The Background
The DevRel survey was initiated by WIP in 2013, as a means to discover and share how DevRel practitioners spent their time. It's evolved to learn about the companies, their programs, and the individuals in DevRel.
We create and manage the project to support the DevRel Community and encourage others to jump in to collaborate on the survey and reports, to continue the knowledge sharing, which in turn serves to increase the professionalism and profile of the growing practice of Developer Relations.
The Project is administered by Devrel.Agency.
