Creating a baseline and tracking metrics are required to improve the flow of delivery. The most common questions, when organizations begin, are "How can we measure CD? What metrics matter?" However, why are we measuring? What are our goals? In this talk, we'll be discussing some common metric anti-patterns. We'll also cover some examples of how to use metrics constructively to identify where improvement efforts should be applied and how to scale that knowledge across the organization.
