The Agile Enterprise: Enterprise Agile Metrics Part 5: Benchmarking Projects

  Agile   Leadership   Strategy  

 

As agile delivery reaches its peak, Agile Metrics is still an emergent topic. Most Agile teams with 4-5 years of practice who are ready to progress to a more mature delivery approach and/or attempt larger and more complex products and projects find that the metrics used by the team in their journey to agility are often challenged at the project level and beyond. Similar challenges are faced by the Project Management Office as well as Program, Portfolio, and even Project Managers when they need to choose a delivery approach.

Most "traditional" agile metrics are relative metrics - very useful for a small team but challenged when planning and measuring the success of a program or even a project. The main challenge is the validity limited to the team level and the lack of consideration for cost and business process integration. This webinar is based on the author's experience using the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC framework for Process Improvement for software development projects, with a focus on M (Measure); it will address benchmarking projects.
