This article outlines the importance of and proposes meaningful Agile metrics for teams seeking to raise overall performance and whose members seek to continuously self-improve. It emphasizes that team members should democratically agree and manage these metrics. It also advises what to look for in tools that track performance against agreed metrics over time.
First off, I was ready to close the tab at the slightest suggestion of using Velocity as a metric. That didn’t happen 🙂
I like the idea that metrics should be contained and sustainable. Though I don’t agree w/ the suggested metrics.
In general, it seems they are all designed around the process and not the product. In particular, there’s no mention of the “value unlocked” in each sprint: it’s an important one for an Agile team as it holds Product accountable to understanding of what is the $$$ value of the team’s effort.
The suggested set, to my mind, is formed around the idea of a feature factory line and its efficiency (assuming it is measurable.) It leaves out the “meaning” of what the team achieve w/ that efficiency.
My 2 cents.
Good read nonetheless 👍 Got me thinking about this intriguing topic after a few years.

I mean, imperial systems weren’t generally known for being agile, yeah.
