Ask Maria: Why aren’t our productivity metrics helping?

I’ve created a dashboard to capture several different metrics, but my CEO doesn’t see how the data can lead to actionable insights. Where do I go from here?

We are in the midst of a cross-organizational challenge where we’re trying to measure the productivity of our product and engineering teams. The endeavor includes around 120 teams with about 800 engineers. These teams have been split up into eight macro-divisions – or chapters. After much contemplation, we have created a Data Studio dashboard that incorporates DORA, cycle time, lead time, and throughput metrics to monitor company productivity. These metrics can be viewed at a team, solution, chapter, or company level.
