Cortex Scorecards + DRIVE: measure engineering org health, not just output

Most engineering metrics track individual output. DRIVE measures the health of the system as a whole. In this Feature Friday, Director of Customer Education and Delivery Taylor Schmidt walks through Cortex's DRIVE scorecard and dashboard, a framework covering five pillars: delivery, reliability, initiatives, vigilance, and efficiency.

Cortex Scorecards + GitHub Rule Sets: Branch Protection at Scale

Stop guessing whether your repos meet your branch policies. Start knowing. In this Feature Friday, Senior Engineering Manager Gabriel walks through Cortex's new native support for GitHub branch rule sets and how to use them in scorecards to enforce consistent policies across all your repos.

Operational excellence (OpEx) reviews: the weekly meeting that actually changes behavior

Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Shawn Burke, Distinguished Engineer at Cortex, to explore what separates an operational excellence review that drives real engineering behavior from one that produces great conversation and nothing else. Shawn draws on experience from SoFi, Uber, and Microsoft to explain why these reviews so often fail—and how to build a process that actually sticks.

Cortex | Workflows Run API

Cortex Workflows can now be triggered externally via the Workflows Run API (beta). In this video, Solutions Architect Jeff Schnitter walks through how to trigger a workflow from the Cortex CLI, pass context via a JSON file, and run synchronously or asynchronously. Requires CLI v1.15.0+ and the "runnable via API" toggle enabled on the workflow. To enable the Workflows Run API in your workspace, contact your CSM.

Can DevOps work in regulated industries?

Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Matt Bailey, DevOps consultant and founder of Merge Ready. Matt shares lessons from helping large regulated organizations in finance, healthcare, and government transform their DevOps practices, and explains why DevOps is an outcome rather than a toolchain.

Cortex | See every engineering scorecard in one view with All Scorecards

Engineering orgs track AI maturity, production readiness, incident preparedness, and a dozen other standards. Each one usually lives in its own scorecard, which makes it hard to see where the org is actually stuck. For this Feature Friday, our Principal Product Manager Christine Byun walks through the new All Scorecards report, now in private beta. In this demo: Birdseye showed you one standard in detail. All Scorecards zooms out so you can see the whole engineering org at once.
