Metrics Revolution: Joy and Pain

What if you could measure the indirect costs of Pain building up on a software project? What if you could track the moments where your coding experience was a complete Joy?

Now… imagine you've got streaming flows for all the Joy and Pain of all the humans, across your team, and across the company. You've got a full history of every WTF incident that's ever happened, that's searchable and indexed along with your code. What problems could you solve if you had this data?

As much as we might want to boil down software development into a purely logical process – the reality of our jobs is closer to art, love, and war. With complexity rising at an insane pace, and business pressure that never lets up, our jobs have become harder than ever.

What if we could minimize Pain and optimize for Joy with a data-driven feedback loop?

Join us for a live demo of tools, explicit details on metrics, and an epic discussion on the chain reaction of possibilities enabled by this paradigm shift.
