A metric is a quantification that can be used to
narrow in on something we could change,
determine if we are adding value, and/or test
hypotheses.
Agile metrics serve as a compass to keep teams
on track and enable data-driven conversations
about ROI, value, and Agile maturity.
No single metric is a flawless and unbiased
representation of team productivity, software
quality, or delivered value.
The usual suspects
Velocity
Burndown
% complete
Releases per <insert arbitrary time period>
Stories released/Features Delivered
In a vacuum
Unhealthy comparing of individuals and teams
A culture of “busy” where WIP is high and morale
is low
Confusion and frustration
Math WIZARDS who can make every target, every
time
Know Your Audiences
Individuals and teams delivering the software
Team leadership
Executive leadership
BEFORE you use a metric
Who is the target audience?
How will your audience use the metric?
What do you believe this metric is telling the intended audience?
What are the outcome you’re hoping to achieve? Can the
metrics inform that?
What are the behaviours you’re trying to drive? How can you
connect that to the metrics you’re collecting?
How can your metrics be misleading, or provide perverse
incentives?
What complementary metrics can provide additional context?
Team Metrics
Should help the team understand how capable they are at
understanding problems and designing realistic solutions
Should help the team learn how to execute better based on
the outcomes resulting from their experiments
Should help teams pinpoint bottlenecks and weak points in
the areas where they can make changes
Provide near immediate feedback that supports the team in
setting and managing realistic expectations
Team Leadership Metrics
Should help a team’s leaders understand how much value is
being delivered by the team
Should help the leader keep on top of cross team
dependencies and risks to larger efforts
Should help team leadership keep a finger on the pulse of the
team in terms of morale, and happiness
Should help the team’s leader understand if things have gone
off the rails and a major commitment is in jeopardy – before
it’s too late
Executive leadership Metrics
Should help them understand where investments are being
made across the portfolio
Should help them understand if a given initiative or project
is going as planned
Should tell them how satisfied their customers are with the
product or solution being delivered
Should help them understand how healthy their
organisational culture is
AFTER some time
Did you have the appropriate metrics for your audience?
Did your audience get value/learning from what they saw?
Did the metric tell you what you thought it would?
Did it help you measure outcomes? Or did it focus on outputs?
Did it foster the behaviours you were trying to encourage? Or
was it misleading, possibly causing unintended outcomes?
Did you have proper context, or were you looking at metrics in a
vacuum?
Is this metric appropriate for the current audience?
The question
almost no one
asks
Should we even / still be collecting
this metric?
Metrics Principals
1. The right metrics for the right audience
2. Metrics are never viewed in a vacuum,
they’re always surrounded by conversation
3. You get what you measure, so make sure
you’re measuring what you want more of
4. Metrics should be treated as a critical part of
experimentation and learning
Consider this
Instead of teams focusing on just their
velocity and burndown
Consider adding story/requirements churn,
escaped defects, sprint goal success rate
Instead of team leadership only monitoring
productivity and released code
Consider also looking at team engagement,
impediment age, and release burndown
Instead of executives monitoring team level
metrics
Share epic burndown or burnup, Net
Promoter Score, and organisational
engagement metrics

  • 4. A metric is a quantification that can be used to narrow in on something we could change, determine if we are adding value, and/or test hypotheses. Agile metrics serve as a compass to keep teams on track and enable data-driven conversations about ROI, value, and Agile maturity. No single metric is a flawless and unbiased representation of team productivity, software quality, or delivered value.
  • 5. The usual suspects Velocity Burndown % complete Releases per <insert arbitrary time period> Stories released/Features Delivered
  • 6. In a vacuum Unhealthy comparing of individuals and teams A culture of “busy” where WIP is high and morale is low Confusion and frustration Math WIZARDS who can make every target, every time
  • 7. Know Your Audiences Individuals and teams delivering the software Team leadership Executive leadership
  • 8. BEFORE you use a metric Who is the target audience? How will your audience use the metric? What do you believe this metric is telling the intended audience? What are the outcome you’re hoping to achieve? Can the metrics inform that? What are the behaviours you’re trying to drive? How can you connect that to the metrics you’re collecting? How can your metrics be misleading, or provide perverse incentives? What complementary metrics can provide additional context?
  • 9. Team Metrics Should help the team understand how capable they are at understanding problems and designing realistic solutions Should help the team learn how to execute better based on the outcomes resulting from their experiments Should help teams pinpoint bottlenecks and weak points in the areas where they can make changes Provide near immediate feedback that supports the team in setting and managing realistic expectations
  • 10. Team Leadership Metrics Should help a team’s leaders understand how much value is being delivered by the team Should help the leader keep on top of cross team dependencies and risks to larger efforts Should help team leadership keep a finger on the pulse of the team in terms of morale, and happiness Should help the team’s leader understand if things have gone off the rails and a major commitment is in jeopardy – before it’s too late
  • 11. Executive leadership Metrics Should help them understand where investments are being made across the portfolio Should help them understand if a given initiative or project is going as planned Should tell them how satisfied their customers are with the product or solution being delivered Should help them understand how healthy their organisational culture is
  • 12. AFTER some time Did you have the appropriate metrics for your audience? Did your audience get value/learning from what they saw? Did the metric tell you what you thought it would? Did it help you measure outcomes? Or did it focus on outputs? Did it foster the behaviours you were trying to encourage? Or was it misleading, possibly causing unintended outcomes? Did you have proper context, or were you looking at metrics in a vacuum? Is this metric appropriate for the current audience?
  • 13. The question almost no one asks Should we even / still be collecting this metric?
  • 14. Metrics Principals 1. The right metrics for the right audience 2. Metrics are never viewed in a vacuum, they’re always surrounded by conversation 3. You get what you measure, so make sure you’re measuring what you want more of 4. Metrics should be treated as a critical part of experimentation and learning
  • 15. Consider this Instead of teams focusing on just their velocity and burndown Consider adding story/requirements churn, escaped defects, sprint goal success rate Instead of team leadership only monitoring productivity and released code Consider also looking at team engagement, impediment age, and release burndown Instead of executives monitoring team level metrics Share epic burndown or burnup, Net Promoter Score, and organisational engagement metrics
