When analyzing metrics, apply the simple filters first
Definitely harder to measure and attribute! I gave praise last week on two separate stories that took longer than expected. Why? Each produced an artifact that will reduce future effort via re-use and promote higher cohesion.
Kent Beck reminding us why Agile began as a human movement, not a metrics machine.
“Effort → Output → Outcome → Impact” reads like a manifesto in miniature — start simple, measure meaningfully, and don’t mistake motion for progress.
I know we already have "the simplest thing that could possibly work", however "simple tools first" is a hell of a name for a thinkie.
Do the simplest thing that could possibly work.
