Breakout: Culture dictates process. Your company is only as effective as your culture. So what are you measuring?
Location: Ren Room
If your culture drives product decisions, what should you really be measuring? Richard Hamming once said, "You get what you measure. Now you're likely to think that means, if you measure accurately you'll have an accurate answer, and if you don't you don't. But it means something quite different: it means that the kind of measurements you make will affect the organization[…]so you should start thinking further than the average person does, what happens when you put in a measuring system.”
We’ll discuss not just effective metrics, but how you can effectively introduce those metrics, and ultimately how you can make data-driven engineering not just tolerable or acceptable, but desirable and ultimately necessary for effective engineering teams to do their best work.
