The saying goes, you can’t manage what you can’t measure.

As an engineering manager, how can you make sure you are using metrics effectively to help your team’s workflow and make problems and risks more visible?

As part of our series, ‘The engineering leader’s guide to data-driven leadership’, LeadDev brought together a group of engineering managers to discuss how they use metrics to support their daily planning, and how they can use data to run better standups.
