Agile Project and Management Metrics: Measuring Success Downward and Upward
This session focuses on visibility of team progress and correcting team "bad smells" using Agile metrics. Since we use metrics to self-correct and sharpen the team, they are an integral part of each iteration and flow into release planning. We will discuss some of the How's and Why's of team metrics and review the risks that are inevitable when it comes to gathering metrics.
Examples that we will talk through are: Burnup, Velocity, Lean "Finger Charts", Efficiency/Availability, Utilization and Estimation Accuracy.
