Setting targets for developer productivity metrics (while avoiding pitfalls)

Mar 24, 8:00am PST / 4:00pm CET

Setting targets for developer productivity metrics takes careful consideration: in some cases, setting the wrong goals can backfire by creating unintended consequences. Teams might start focusing on optimizing the numbers instead of the system, and it can be difficult to figure out what kind of targets are realistic in the first place. Join Abi Noda and Laura Tacho, DX CEO and CTO, for a discussion about how to properly set targets for productivity metrics, so you can continue to push for both improvement and accountability from your own teams.

Join this discussion to learn:

  • How to think about potential pitfalls, like Goodhart’s Law and Campbell’s Law, and spot them in your own metrics
  • How to set goals at different levels: frontline team, group, and organization level, and what realistic targets can look like for your team
  • Real-world examples of good and bad approaches to setting goals and targets for productivity metrics
