Problem

Scenario

You're managing an engineering team and want to use a small set of metrics to understand delivery speed, operational health, and whether the team is improving over time. You want the metrics to help with decisions and coaching, without turning planning, reporting, and reviews into overhead.

Question

How do you use metrics like sprint velocity, deployment frequency, and uptime to manage team performance without creating bureaucracy?

What This Tests

  • Choosing KPIs that balance delivery and reliability
  • Separating leading indicators from lagging indicators
  • Diagnosing tradeoffs when one metric improves and another worsens
  • Designing lightweight review loops that drive decisions
