BOOK REVIEW | ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE TO BUSINESS OUTCOMES | DINKER CHARAK AND SACHIN DHARMAPURIKAR



Ever felt like your engineering team’s hard work isn’t translating into real business results? Imagine having a framework that not only measures performance but shows how it drives success. That’s exactly what "Engineering Excellence to Business Outcomes" offers.


In this insightful read, Dinker Charak and Sachin Dharmapurikar introduce us to EEBO Metrics—a game-changing approach to making sure engineering efforts align with business goals. Unlike those traditional metrics that often seem disconnected from real impact, EEBO Metrics offer a fresh perspective. The book walks you through how these metrics work, their benefits, and how to sidestep common pitfalls. It’s like having a guide that helps you turn engineering achievements into clear, business-driven results.


Dinker Charak brings over 20 years of experience in developing impactful products, from real-time systems to home automation. He’s worked with top-tier research labs like Fermilab and CERN, and his background in advertising technology adds a unique edge. Sachin Dharmapurikar, on the other hand, has spent a decade in tech, founding and scaling product companies. Together, their deep expertise shines through, making this book not just informative but genuinely valuable.


What really sets this book apart is how practical it is. The authors don’t just dive into theory—they offer real-world insights and a step-by-step guide for implementing EEBO Metrics. Their straightforward writing makes complex ideas easy to grasp, turning what could be a dry topic into something engaging and useful.


The book explores themes that hit home for anyone working in tech—alignment, collaboration, and measurable success. Whether you’re a tech leader trying to prove your team’s value or a project manager aligning goals, these themes will resonate with you.


One of the most impactful parts is the discussion on traditional metrics’ limitations. It really makes you think about how conventional methods often miss the mark, emphasizing why a holistic approach is crucial for true success.


The book excels in offering practical advice and clear explanations. It’s packed with actionable insights and real-world examples. However, if you’re new to the topic, the depth of information might feel a bit overwhelming at times.


The book’s biggest takeaway for me was the importance of measuring engineering success not just in technical terms but in how it drives business outcomes. It’s a powerful reminder that true engineering excellence goes beyond just creating great products—it’s about making a real impact on the business.
