Lost in translation: communicating delivery metrics to the wider business

Recent debates, spurred by the McKinsey report “Yes, you can measure software developer productivity”, have centered on the effective use of metrics within engineering to report to the C-Suite level. A broader question surfaces of how to ensure what is measured is valid and useful in achieving its intended purpose.

As GWI have become more diligent about metrics, their approach to measurement and reporting has evolved to help tackle this question. Join George Nikolaropoulos, GWI’s SVP of Engineering, to discover how they adapted their metrics to suit their engineering teams, VPs, and C-Suite to stimulate the conversations driving continuous improvement at multiple levels of their organization.
