March 2021 Summaries

Building a world-class product development organization requires not only hiring the right people and empowering them but also fostering an environment where teams can self-organize effectively with shared language, transparency, good tooling, and common guardrails. The complexity of engineering metrics often leads to misguided attempts at measuring productivity, which can hinder progress instead of enhancing it.
