Love it! In the meantime, you can check out one of our customers who was able decrease their delivery speeds by nearly 90% and improve predictability to >95%!
The webinar link is below - pretty cool to see how teams use metrics to really enhance the way they work. Even cooler to hear how happy the engineering team was after removing all those annoying friction points in the development process :)
TBH I love the skepticism here. It's important to think about metrics critically in this way to make sure we're building truly useful applications of data.
We've found that evaluating individuals, stack ranking teams, and measuring an individual's 'productivity' to be an ultimately futile effort.
It's more important to focus on team delivery as described in many research studies. My favorite being the book Accelerate by nicole forsgren. If you haven't, I do encourage you to check it out!
As the founder of Haystack I can be seen as biased so its probably more helpful to checkout their research across thousands of teams on what makes an 'elite engineering team' and how elite engineering teams ultimately help drive successful organizations across profitability, market share, and customer satisfaction :)
Thanks for the heads up, looking into this now! :)
In the meantime, we've opened up our team Slack (link below) if you'd like more info on Haystack (or just want to jam about metrics with other eng leaders from companies like Microsoft and The Economist).
