Ep. 5 - More Tools. Less Output? The Truth About Developer Productivity

Are your technology investments driving developer productivity—or just adding complexity? 

In this episode of Let’s Solve IT!, Matt Brown sits down with Mekka Williams, Director of Innovation and Solutions and co-host of The STEMINISTS podcast, to unpack one of the biggest disconnects in modern IT: the gap between investment and impact. 

They explore why more tools don’t always lead to better outcomes, what developer productivity really looks like from a business perspective, and how leading organizations are aligning people, processes, and technology to drive measurable results. 

You’ll hear: 

• Why time-to-value continues to fall short of expectations
• How DevOps complexity is slowing teams down
• What meaningful productivity measurementlookslike 
• Where AIdelivers real valueand where it introduces risk 
• Why progress starts with action, not perfection

Because improving productivity isn’t a one-time fix—it’s an ongoing business priority. 

You are not alone. Let’s Solve IT!
