How It Works?

The assessment is comprised of a series of questions, grouped into different areas.

You can take either the base assessment or the full one.

The base option provides detailed assessment and recommendations for three areas of your tech organization: 1) organizational design, 2) product strategy and roadmaps, and 3) IT infrastructure and DevOps. For the other 11 areas, you get an overall assessment. These are the 11 areas:

  1. Organizational design
  2. Autonomous teams
  3. Recruitment and staffing
  4. Product strategy and roadmaps
  5. Engineering strategy, roadmap, and maturity.
  6. Project Management
  7. Quality
  8. Performance management and HR
  9. Innovation
  10. Data
  11. IT infrastructure and DevOps
  12. Productivity and efficiency 
  13. Communication
  14. Remote office (only if applicable)

The full version of the assessment gives you detailed assessment and recommendations for all 14 areas of your tech organization. Each of these areas consists of a list of between 6 and 15 questions to answer.

To make sure that the assessment has high-quality output for you, it is always manually verified before being made available to you. Because of that extra step, you’ll receive your results via e-mail within three days of completing the assessment.

The Top Strengthener tool can be applied to any type of company, whatever its type of business or domain. It can be applied to large corporations as well as startups. Of course, many of the recommendations will depend on factors like the size of your company. Because of that, at the start of the assessment, you’ll need to provide brief information about your company and tech organization.
