Agility Metrics

Agility metrics provide insights into a team's performance and enable them to make informed decisions based on data, leading to effective actions for improvement. These metrics are often organized in a hierarchical structure that encompasses various aspects, ranging from the adoption of agility practices to their impact on agility outcomes.

To illustrate, if our goal is to enhance our Leading Speed outcome, we might focus on cycle time as a metric. We can then identify the practices that contribute to speed and examine metrics related to the creation and quality of those practices. For instance, we could analyze metrics concerning flight crews, as they play a role in improving speed. The focus would be on metrics that measure the creation and quality of flight crews.

The crucial aspect of these metrics lies in their actionability, ensuring that they go beyond being mere vanity metrics without any impact on agility.
