Beyond Velocity: 3 Metrics for Engineering Team Success
Shorter Talk at 1:06PM EDT
Velocity is an important metric to a lot of software teams, but in my experience, it’s often been the most important metric to management — often at the expense of missing out on the rest of the story. In this talk, we'll explore Earned Business Value, Lead Time, and Cumulative Flow to examine how these metrics might deliver additional insight into teams' development lifecycles.
If you'd like to learn more about software metrics, I recommend these two books:
- Software Development Metrics by David Nicolette
- Agile Metrics in Action by Christopher Davis
