Agile PM Online Roundtable: Measuring for Effective Results

Scrum and other Agile/Lean methodologies are empirical in nature: they rely on measurements to help people understand the state of the work to be done. These measurements are meant to be objective and used toward bringing about desirable results for the people who do the work and for the people who consume the work. All too often, however, measurements lead to confusion, waste, and behaviors that aren't effective. How can we effectively leverage measurements to improve the systems in which we work?

In this Agile PM Roundtable, we'll convene a Lean Coffee to discuss what measurements work for individuals, teams, and organizations and which ones don't. We'll explore how to identify the behaviors and results that you want and which measurement can effectively provide indications on our progress towards the next desired state.
