We asked engineering leaders for their perspectives on what works when it comes to metrics.
1. Why do you use metrics?
Cody Lee (Engineering Manager, Splice): To continuously improve. Every metric we track is in service of improvement. We track business metrics to determine whether we’re growing a healthy business that provides artists with the ecosystem necessary to improve their craft. We track process metrics to create a development environment that enables progress. We track system health metrics to support our existing user base to ensure we are providing them with an ideal user experience in the midst of change.
