It’s been said: If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. For most agile teams burndown charts and some type of velocity measurement are all they are doing.

Andrew Graves explores seven key metrics―Effort by Class of Service, Accuracy of Estimation, Cost per Point, and four others―to measure how your team is doing and make adjustments in real time. Andrew illustrates how to use these metrics to communicate progress to stakeholders. Discover how to use these metrics to identify and analyze trends that lead to performance improvement ideas and strategies. Learn how to use these seven metrics to monitor the impact of changes made to verify they are bringing the hoped-for difference.
