Agile and Beyond 2017

As a consultant I see a lot of organizations use metric in inappropriate ways to measure teams. These metrics lead to a lot of fear and mistrust. At the heart of these metrics 9 time out of 10 times velocity is at the heart of it. This talk will focus on using Flow, Quality, Happiness, Agile Fluency, and Business Value as a diagnostic tool to help teams grow and support coaching. I use these 5 metrics because the combination of metrics balances each other. When you push more Flow on a team with a lower Agile Fluency the first thing to change is quality, and then quickly followed by happiness and then the delivery of value. Conversely, when you teach a team to harness data in positive way and see how to improve their delivery your teams will flourish.
