Measuring features can help software engineers release high-quality work in a psychologically safe environment.

For software engineering teams that are asked to frequently release features without disruption, measurement is a critical component and missed opportunity. I’m not just talking about measuring KPIs or other engagement metrics, but also tracking performance issues like latency – the measurements that tell you if your features break something or if they’re negatively affecting your database. 

Measurements of this magnitude are most effective at the feature level, and they’re crucial for mitigating risk, ensuring infrastructure quality, and speeding up the velocity of software delivery.
