You Have Metrics — Now What? 🔧

How to turn metrics into effective processes and improvement loops.

Hey there! Last month we published an article about the recent shifts in measuring developer productivity, based on my chat with Abi Noda, CEO of DX.

The piece had an awesome reception (thank you 🙏) and many of you asked via email about what we defined as the next frontier of metrics, that is, their operationalization — how to turn metrics into effective processes and improvement loops.

So, to talk about about this, today we are bringing in Laura Tacho, CTO at DX and former guest of our own podcast!

Here is the agenda for today:

1. 🎯 Use cases for metrics — who is using metrics? Talking about engineering orgs and systems teams.

2. ⚖️ Activities with metrics — the difference between diagnostic and improvement metrics.

3. 🗺️ Metric mapping — how to get from the big picture to actionable improvements for your processes.

4. 🏃‍♂️ Getting started — putting everything together in a three-step process.

Let’s dive in!
