Speaker: Blake Walters and Graeme Harvey
Topic:
We can measure activity, we can measure delivery, but when we measure the performance of our engineering teams, are we measuring the things that really make a difference? And, if not, how can we succeed in the tricky challenge of measuring every task an engineer does so that it creates a positive outcome for the business?
Join Blake Walters and Graeme Harvey who will be discussing how you can measure the performance of your engineering teams using the metrics that matter most.
We will cover:
- Business metrics
- Velocity metrics
- Morale metrics
