Problem

Scenario

You're leading an engineering team and want a clear read on how well work is actually moving through the system. Delivery output is visible, but you also need to catch execution problems early, before they show up in missed commitments or customer impact.

Question

What this tests

  • Choosing execution KPIs instead of vanity metrics
  • Separating leading indicators from lagging indicators
  • Using metric decomposition to diagnose root causes
