Presented by Thomas Cagley
Session Description: Explicit transparency is a hallmark of all agile approaches. Measurement is one form of making the impact of development and work entry explicit and visible. The goal of controlling work entry is simple, to ensure the organization gets the right value when it’s needed. Most of the measures and metrics commonly in use are context-driven and will not matter in every environment. So rather than inventory all possible metrics we suggest focusing on the one core area that matters across the board, Flow.
