Moving the metrics,ways to monitor improvements
Joanna Koprowicz
What is a meaningful metric?
“Scrum requires simple metrics, e.g. measures of workremaining or business value delivered. The metrics should beused to measure truth - not to measure success or failure.Only measures of truth can be trusted not to incite quick-fixbehaviour in a team”
Tobias Mayer - The People’s Scrum
TRUTH
“My personal greatest frustration with metrics is thephenomenon whereby our peers and team membersdeliberately or inadvertently find ways to achieve themetric and the rewards that come with it, but fail toincorporate the correct or desired behavior. Instead theyadopt undesirable behavior. It drives me nuts!”
Alan Nicol
