Presentation: "Using Metrics For Good, Not Evil"
Using metrics for punitive reasons is a problem as old as time. In
software, this is further complicated by the fact that people rarely
agree on why we are collecting metrics in the first place. In this
session we will explore how we can use metrics for good instead of
evil.
By focusing on the goal of system improvement, rather than individual
performance, we can begin leveraging data to make a positive
difference in how we work while also delving into why we work the way
we do.
This session will include real-world examples of problems that
organizations create for themselves by using metrics for the wrong
intent. We will also discuss examples of good metrics and how they can
be used to make our lives better.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
* Know why we need good metrics
* Describe why organizations, often unintentionally, capture harmful
metrics
* Explain how good metrics can drive good behaviors and how bad
metrics can drive bad behaviors
* Understand how to identify good metrics at each tier of business
* Able to analyze an organization’s current metrics and determine
whether they are being used for good or for evil
* Comprehend how to continuously improve the behaviors we see in our
organization by continuously improving the metrics we use to measure
success
