This episode looks at the challenges of measuring the performance and value of software development teams. It suggests that focusing only on metrics like individual output or the number of features delivered can be misleading, as it ignores whether those features are actually valuable to customers or the organization. The conversation highlights the need for teams to have a shared understanding of the purpose and value of their work. It recommends measuring not just delivery speed but also how those deliveries impact business outcomes. The conversation concludes that by grasping the value of what they're building and its effects, teams can work more efficiently, avoid overproduction, and feel more motivated and engaged.
