Introducing Customizable Team Pages: Your New Developer Home Base

Context switching is a massive productivity drain. Studies show that developers spend up to 30% of their time navigating between different tools and dashboards. 

Today, we're excited to announce our new Customizable Team Pages: dashboards designed to minimize the friction between developers and the information they need to build, ship, and fix code.

The new Customizable Team Pages allow you to bring data from across your software and tool ecosystem into one single pane of glass tailored to your team’s needs. 

This is your team’s new home base.

With the new Customizable Team Pages, you can:

• Bring in data from 3rd party tools to view alongside information from OpsLevel
• Rearrange metrics and information so teams focus only on the most important data
• Remove data from the dashboard that’s irrelevant to your objectives

Bringing Your Tools Together

At the heart of the Custom Team Pages are our new custom widgets. These flexible components allow you to embed a wide range of third-party tools directly into your OpsLevel dashboard. From DataDog metrics to PagerDuty status pages, Figma designs to Grafana dashboards, you can now centralize critical information from across your tech stack.

Customization Without Complexity

Unlike some Internal Developer Platform (IDP) solutions that require extensive coding for customization, our Custom Teams Page offers a no-code approach to dashboard configuration. This means your team can iterate on their ideal setup without diverting engineering resources.

The Impact on Engineering Productivity

Research indicates that elite performing teams spend 37% less time on unplanned work and rework compared to low performers, partly due to better organized workflows and tools. By centralizing key information and reducing tool sprawl, the Custom Team Pages aim to reclaim a significant portion of your team's time and improve overall business performance.

Here are a few ways you can leverage OpsLevel’s Customizable Team Pages to improve developer productivity:

• Embedding real-time performance metrics next to service health status so that engineers can quickly identify and address performance issues without switching between monitoring tools, reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR).
• Displaying current sprint progress alongside Campaign initiatives so that engineers can align their daily work with broader business goals, ensuring they're always working on high-impact tasks and reducing time spent on lower-priority items.
• Showcasing design mockups beside feature development status so that engineers can easily reference design specifications while coding, reducing back-and-forth communication with designers and minimizing rework due to misinterpretation.
• Combining incident management dashboards with on-call schedules so that engineers can quickly assess the severity of issues and identify the right person to escalate to, decreasing response times and minimizing service disruptions.

By bringing together the tools your team relies on daily, the Customizable Teams Page transforms OpsLevel into a true developer home base. Learn more about Customizable Team Pages in our documentation or schedule a call with our team to get a hands-on demo today.
