Agile Metrics and Measurements
Are you being asked to measure your agility? How productive is your team? What is the quality of your product? How accurate are your estimates? Be careful, you will get what you measure.
This session will evaluate metrics which attempt to measure productivity, quality, esimation accuracy, value, and return on investment within the context of an agile project. What measurements are teams using and why? We will explore various measurements used by session participants and discuss some of their pros and cons.
We will discuss the pros and cons of various metrics and how each has the potential to create dysfunction within the team and how they can be "gamed".
