The question behind the delivery numbers

Can you show how much of your team’s capacity is going toward the business strategy?

A team can work hard and deliver consistently without delivering the mix of work its strategic objective requires. The guide examines how to make that difference measurable.

  • Effort does not show alignment

    Knowing that the team is busy does not answer whether its capacity is going toward the work that matters.

  • Consistent delivery does not show the right work mix

    A reliable delivery rate can exist alongside a gap between completed work and strategic priorities.

  • The allocation needs to be visible

    Without seeing how capacity is distributed across work item types, you cannot compare actual delivery with the intended strategic focus.

About the author

The guide is written by Sonya Siderova, Founder and CEO of Nave.

Nave grew out of a product development team that was delivering just 25% of what it committed to. After adopting Kanban, the team began making decisions from delivery data instead of opinions. That experience eventually became Nave, a flow analytics platform trusted by 7,000+ delivery teams worldwide.
