Brad's Presentation:
The Velocity Trap

How does your team know that the things they deliver are valuable? While there are some companies that don’t measure at all, it is becoming common practice to evaluate a team based off of productivity or output. Just because your team is able to deliver a lot of work in a small amount of time it doesn’t mean that output is actually valuable. In other words, what is the outcome of the team’s production efforts? In this discussion, we will review the difference between outputs and outcomes, as well as discuss how your organization can become more successful by measuring the things that truly matter.
