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”.
About Pete Behrens
Pete Behrens didn't set out to become a leadership expert. His professional journey began as an engineer, solving technical problems, but life had other plans. Over three decades, Pete has evolved from individual contributor to technical leader to business executive and organizational coach, learning that the most complex challenges aren't technical; they're human.
As Founder and CEO of Agile Leadership Journey, Pete has dedicated his career to helping leaders navigate uncertainty with courage and authenticity. He believes that leadership isn't about having all the answers; it's about having the humility to ask better questions and the courage to step forward when the path isn't clear.
Pete’s debut book, “Into the Fog: Leadership Stories from the Edge of Uncertainty,” captures decades of leadership wisdom through compelling real-world stories. The book reveals how authentic leadership emerges not in moments of clarity, but in the uncertainty of everyday challenges–what Pete calls “the Fog.”
An influential speaker, Pete has shared his insights at various global conferences and hosts the Relearning Leadership™ podcast, where he engages with industry experts and leaders to explore the evolving landscape of leadership and organizational development.
