How much value did your Management Team Meeting deliver today ?

Usually the question how productive a meeting consisting of your Management Team really is, is a question no one dares to ask. Maybe Matthias and I will write a book about Management Productivity at one point of time. Until then we will deal with development productivity:

Questions we usually get:

- How productive are your developers ?

- How many story points have you delivered last week ?

- How much cheaper can we develop using AI... in %

Well, the idea around measuring developer productivity based on our experience can be summarized like this:

HOW TO MEASURE DEVELOPER PRODUCTIVITY

Even if this is supposed to be a fun example to make you re-think the way how to look at development outcomes it might not be so un-familar in day to day usw.

We know that measuring business value is a harder task than measuring how many hours have been clocked on your developers time records - but the truth lies exactly within this art of measuring what outcome an organization is producing.

In order to give you a more holistic spin on software metrics, Matthias’ colleague Dustin Liukkonen created an amazing overview about a software metrics pyramid. You can clearly see on top, that business KPI’s are leading, followed by value KPIs and only on the very bottom very technical KPIs.
