Batting Averages and Slugging %s
Matt Story // VP Engineering Handshake
Why I Dont Care About Team Velocity

And neither should you.
Why Process Infrastructure?

Were usually optimizing for up to 3 things
Speed

Time to value
Predictability

Consistency of time to value
Sustainability

Value over the long haul
Team Velocities
Sprint-over-Sprint

Velocity
 E鍖ort
Actual Team E鍖ort
Sprint-over-Sprint
It Rewards Padding

Which isnt really predictability
And its a bad predictor
When you have historical data
50%
 75%
 98%
E鍖ort <> Value

Unfortunately e鍖ort is not that important
L Value Batting Average

Weeks with a L Value Delivery / Weeks
It Rewards Iteration

More L Value Releases the Better
It Rewards Value/E鍖ort Arbitrage

L Value / S E鍖ort is best
Informing Prioritization Decisions

Stack ranking for Value / E鍖ort
And Producing Results

In 鍖rst quarter using stack, against .357 the prior quarter
.769
10 weeks with launches / 14 weeks
But it Over-values Home Runs
... wrong town for this slide*
But Over-values Home Runs
Much better.
XL Value Eq Batting Average

Weeks with the equivalent of an XL Value Delivery / Weeks
Slugging %

L Value Equivalents / Weeks
Slugging %

In 鍖rst quarter using stack, compared to .446 quarter prior.
1.654
Silver Slugger Award

Given every month to engineer with highest Slugging %
Not Counting Weeks on Support
Which are like sacri鍖ce plays
Thanks
