Metrics that matter: What’s worth measuring?
F-Secure, Tammasaarenkatu 7, 00180 Helsinki, Finland, Helsinki, FIMetrics that matter: What’s worth measuring?
Few topics spark as much debate among agile practitioners as story points and estimates. Helpful planning tools or sources of dysfunction?
We’ll open with a short talk based on an ethnographic study by Sonja Trifuljesko, diving into this controversy firsthand. Then, we’ll shift into a hands-on workshop to tackle a broader challenge: Which metrics actually help our teams, and which ones just create noise?
In the workshop, we will:
- Map the metrics we use: What do we actually track?
- Spot the helpful ones: Which metrics serve us, and why?
- Examine the rest: Why do some metrics feel unhelpful, or even harmful?
- Consider the alternatives: What would be better to measure instead?
Bring a metric you love, one you can’t stand, or a situation where you weren’t sure what to measure.
Let’s compare notes and figure out what’s really worth measuring!
