Agile Metrics: Beyond Burndown Charts Featuring Agilist, Tanner Wortham!

DESCRIPTION:

When some discuss agile metrics, they get no further than burndown charts or velocity. While useful, these are hardly a mediocre start. Come learn one organization's story as they discover what did and didn't work, what dangers they faced and avoided, and how they use data to foster a culture of experimentation.

We'll talk about what metrics matter most, attributes of good and bad metrics, and who should select them. Additionally, we'll show some of our own measures of success that have helped our teams in their journey toward higher performance.
