The question is on your right: Measure Team Operating Effectiveness. Take a moment with it first.

Only Submit answer is graded - discussion is free practice.

Problem

Scenario

You lead an engineering team and want a clear way to judge whether the team is operating well over time. You need metrics that reflect delivery health, quality, and longer-term outcomes, without rewarding the wrong behavior.

Question

How do you measure whether your team is operating effectively?

What this tests

  • Choosing KPIs that reflect team effectiveness
  • Separating leading indicators from lagging indicators
  • Avoiding single-metric traps such as velocity alone
  • Using decomposition to diagnose weak execution
