Heavybit Welcomes New Member: Milestone

The dawn of Continuous AI is transforming how software is built, and the best engineering teams know that maximizing developer productivity depends on deep visibility into their full engineering data stack. Milestone has built secure, enterprise-grade integrations across the entire engineering toolchain. That foundation uniquely positions them to help engineering leaders maximize the impact of AI on their development teams.” -Joseph Ruscio, General Partner/Heavybit

The Heavybit team is pleased to welcome the enterprise AI adoption platform Milestone to our portfolio. Milestone helps enterprise leaders bring culture to the chaos of AI adoption within engineering organizations.

AI is already changing the way organizations build software, but AI tools themselves change rapidly, posing a genuine challenge to engineering leadership.

Increasingly, engineering leaders at the enterprise are grappling with how to accurately measure return on investment and productivity for engineering tools purchased for the org as teams constantly swap out models and frameworks for the next best thing. The frequent tool changes are also leading to an emerging “shadow AI” problem as individual team members quietly adopt completely new AI applications, fragmenting the team’s stack and potentially introducing security and privacy vulnerabilities.

Why We’re Excited

Milestone offers an elegant solution for engineering leaders attempting to bring order to the Wild West of AI tooling. The platform provides in-depth productivity and adoption metrics for every AI tool an engineering organization uses, eliminating the guesswork of both who’s using what, as well as whether it’s any good.

By identifying bottlenecks and providing insights on resource allocation, Milestone helps enterprise engineering leaders get the absolute most out of every AI tool their teams adopt. Better still, Milestone’s real-time analytics help engineering teams systematically trial and measure new tooling regardless of how often the tools themselves, or team preferences for specific tools, change. With Milestone, engineering teams at AI-forward enterprises like Monday.com, Blackhawk Network, and Sapiens are adapting to the rapid pace of change in the AI tooling space so their teams can take full advantage of AI productivity gains.

Going forward, Milestone will continue to scale both its platform and its team. Learn more about Milestone by visiting the website.
