Summary

Implementing an Engineering Knowledge Graph (EKG) with Harness Software Engineering Insights enables organizations to improve engineering productivity by automating workflows, enhancing decision-making, and accurately mapping the relationships between teams, tools, and assets. As organizations and products grow, understanding the tools and assets owned by different teams becomes challenging, leading to reliance on gut-based decisions and manual processes that often reach breaking points. A mature EKG helps address these challenges by providing comprehensive metric collection, identifying the right owners for tasks, and enabling end-to-end automation of DevOps processes. The process of building and maintaining an EKG is complex due to the varied segmentation models in different DevOps tools, but Harness Software Engineering Insights aids in creating and maintaining an EKG by integrating with dev tools like JIRA and Git, thereby correlating information to build a cohesive system. This allows for better insights into project trends, bottlenecks, inter-team dependencies, and the customization of automated workflows, ultimately maximizing engineering productivity and ensuring effective communication and actionability across teams.
