Agile Metrics in Action: Measuring and Enhancing the Performance of Agile Teams (Paperback)

Project tracking systems, test and build tools, source control, continuous integration, and other built-in parts of the software development lifecycle generate a wealth of data that can be used to track and improve the quality and performance of products, processes, and teams. Although the iterative nature of Agile development is perfect for data-driven continuous improvement, the collection, analysis, and application of meaningful metrics often fades in favor of subjective measures that offer less insight into the real challenges of making better software.

Agile Metrics in Action: Measuring and enhancing the performance of Agile teams is a practical book that shows how to take the data already being generated to make teams, processes, and products better. It points out which metrics to use to objectively measure performance and what data really counts, along with where to find it, how to get it, and how to analyze it. The book also shows how all team members can publish their own metrics through dashboards and radiators, taking charge of communicating performance and individual accountability. Along the way, it offers practical data analysis techniques, including a few emerging Big Data practices.

專案追蹤系統、測試和建置工具、原始碼控制、持續整合以及軟體開發生命週期中的其他內建部分，產生了大量的資料，可以用來追蹤和改善產品、流程和團隊的品質和表現。雖然敏捷開發的迭代性質非常適合以數據驅動的持續改進，但對於收集、分析和應用有意義的指標，往往會傾向於主觀的衡量方法，這些方法對於改善軟體品質的真正挑戰提供的洞察力較少。

《敏捷指標實踐：測量和提升敏捷團隊的表現》是一本實用的書籍，展示了如何利用已經產生的數據來改善團隊、流程和產品。它指出了要使用哪些指標客觀地衡量表現，以及哪些數據真正重要，以及在哪裡找到它、如何獲取它以及如何分析它。該書還展示了所有團隊成員如何通過儀表板和顯示器發布自己的指標，負責傳達表現和個人責任。在此過程中，它提供了實用的數據分析技術，包括一些新興的大數據實踐。
