The Best Agile Metrics - Everything Else Sucks!!!

Look, you need metrics for your agile organization, #amiright? In the immortal words of Peter Drucker,

“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”

So, you need to measure things, and measure them well. And you need to measure the right things too! 

Metrics on employee happiness, theoretical value, and throughput of work are just plain silly. I will reveal the metrics that you need. That mean something. And that get results.

Join us as we discover THE BEST AGILE METRICS!

Organizations need to figure out how to measure things so they can learn and improve. It can be challenging figuring out how to measure, and perhaps even harder to figure out what to measure! I take examples of metrics anti-patterns that I have experienced in my agile career, and then make them EXTREME! I then reveal that the metrics I have offered have no value, because they have no context! I then describe processes that can help people define context of metrics so they can figure out what metrics matter to them.

Participants will learn how to:

• identify metrics anti-patterns
• summarize discovery of metrics that matter
• use "Definition of Value" to enable teams to identify what should be measured
• select relevant metrics that map to value in a "Definition of Measurement"
• determine what work has value, or not, using the "Suckinator"
• design collaborative activities that produce relevant metrics for them
