[@TimelessAgility]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for sharing Jimmie. You provide clarity and great insight into the true success indicators aligned with delivering value and not targets.

[@TimelessAgility]

I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for providing feedback.

Fantastic overview of metrics and how they should be used - where the focus should be on outcome not throughput. Thank you, Jimmie; you Rock!

[@TimelessAgility]

Thanks for checking it out.

[@ICEBreakup]

This video is very well composed and takes a multi dimensional view of what being agile really means. Very insightful. Thank you!

[@TimelessAgility]

Thank you very much!

[@vajiraweerasinghe9008]

Thanks! A clear and informative video

[@TimelessAgility]

Glad it was helpful!

[@blufluffya_496]

this is really great, some wisdom shared there that I think only makes sense with time and experience and finding out what doesn't work vs what does - thanks for sharing!

[@TimelessAgility]

Thanks for watching. I’m glad you found it useful.

What metrics are used in agile for measuring their performance? Like Velocity or capacity utilisation?

[@TimelessAgility]

Velocity isn’t a performance metric because one team’s velocity cannot be compared to another, so there’s no benchmark. Velocity is based on how that team estimates, which is unique to them. Velocity helps the team know about how much it can get done in an increment. That’s all. Many factors will cause them to do more or less, and it’s not necessarily a performance issue. Capacity utilization - what defines utilization? I can argue that the most value comes from thinking and deriving a solution than actually coding it. How would you measure utilization? What teams use to measure performance often is different than what I recommend. Thus this video. Lead time, cycle time, learning cycles, business outcomes that result from what’s delivered, customer satisfaction. Those are what really matter.

How will u assess an individual performance

[@TimelessAgility]

Depends on what you mean. If as pulling their weight on the team and their contribution to the team's deliverables, that's via observation and peer review. One could write 25% of the code as another and provide more value to the overall effort by way of design, ideas, and mentoring. If by personal goals and growth, then there should be measures tied to those objectives.

[@ChromeFamily]

Very good video, part of the problem is big corporations love to assess individual talent on a bell curve. So managers are forced to rate people individually instead of us teams. So management is forced to micromanage or get involved. What are some ways to deflect that?

[@MyParaGuide]

Isn't cycle time and lead time the same?

[@TimelessAgility]

No. Lead time includes cycle time and accounts for the upfront time it takes an idea or an order to be acted upon. Here’s another resource that breaks this down. kissflow.com/project/agile/lead-time-vs-cycle-time-in-kanban/
