The gap between reporting and deciding
If a metric does not lead to a decision, what changes?
Teams can track and report delivery metrics while leadership is still left asking whether there is a problem and what should change. The guide examines what is missing between seeing the number and acting on it.
The number reaches leadership
A delivery metric is reported, but the report alone does not identify the decision it should support.
The operational question remains
Leadership still needs to determine what the number means for priorities, capacity or work already in progress.
The decision becomes the bottleneck
Delivery does not change when the data reaches the people responsible for acting on it but does not help them choose what to do next.
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.
