Why You Should Measure Your Dev Process 📈

Hi everyone!

In the last couple of weeks I spoke with several people who are interested in measuring their software development process 📈

I was also invited to a podcast to talk about it, which was genuinely a great experience (first time for me 🎉)

So this week I have written an article with some FAQs. It's full of practical, battle-tested advice on how to start and make sure it works well for your team 🎽

A quick preview:

🙅‍♀️ Engineers don't usually like to be measured
❓ Why measure at all?
⚖️ How do we understand what is worthy to be measured?
🔨 What would you measure for an engineering team?
🎽 Are these team numbers? Individual numbers? Both?
🏁 How do I start?
📚 Resources

These are all the things I wanted to know when I started, and then some. I learned them the hard way, so you don't have to 😄

You can read the full article below, in this week issue of Refactoring.

Tell me what you think about it! I love discussing this topic 😊
