What Waydev is
Waydev is an engineering intelligence platform for organizations that want to measure software work from planning through delivery and measurement. It combines engineering health, delivery, and planning views for small, mid-market, and enterprise teams. Health areas include Hygiene, Benchmark, Developer Experience, Insights, and Ghost Engineering. Delivery tools cover work logs, velocity reports, DORA metrics, cycle time, pull-request insights, and sprint commitments. Planning includes project costs, resource planning and allocation, a broad project view, and cost capitalization. Premium adds tracking for AI adoption, AI impact, and AI return on investment, while Waydev Agent answers questions about costs, output, team performance, and AI impact using organizational data. Waydev connects with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Gerrit, Jira, Slack, and other listed services. It is offered through the web, API, or self-hosted deployment. Enterprise customers can use cloud or self-hosted arrangements, including on-premises Git and ticketing integrations. Waydev says it copies Git metadata for analysis, deletes it afterward, and does not persist source code. A free plan is available, with paid plans billed annually.
