As an engineering VP, it can be difficult to keep track of your teams and effectively report their progress to the executive team and board.
Using metrics can help to monitor and communicate the state of your engineering org. But it can be difficult to know where to start. What are the right ways to measure success? Which metrics should you use when reporting to a management board or executive level? In what ways are other VPs using metrics that they find helpful or harmful?
As part of our series, ‘The engineering leader’s guide to data-driven leadership’, LeadDev brought together a group of engineering VPs to discuss how they are currently using metrics, and share their advice for getting it right.
