Introducing engineering metrics to your organization

Picking the right software developer metrics isn't as easy as it sounds.
September 25, 2024

As the demands on engineering leaders evolve, engineering metrics are a key tool for improving processes and aligning with business objectives. 

While this concept isn’t new, the sophistication and intentionality in approaching these metrics have evolved significantly over the past few years. Leaders have learned that some metrics can be toxic, and that it’s impossible to represent anything with one single metric.

Engineering metrics provide insights into the software development process, helping to identify inefficiencies, inform resource allocation, and demonstrate value to stakeholders. Used correctly, they can drive continuous improvement and enhance predictability. These objective measures allow leaders to identify inefficiencies that might otherwise go unnoticed.
