Problem

Scenario

You lead an engineering team and want a clear way to track productivity without reducing performance to a single output number. You need metrics that help you understand both individual contribution and team delivery, while keeping the focus on business impact, quality, and healthy execution.

Question

What this tests

  • Choosing KPIs that reflect engineering output and outcomes
