Metrics That Matter at DevUp
We are stoked to be heading back to St. Louis to talk about Architecture and Metrics. The architecture talk will be techniques you can use right now to move towards a better architecture and less weeks-long planning that doesn’t solve problems. Our metrics talk won’t be about velocity - we will get deep into much more interesting and relevant metrics for teams and organizations as well as how to understand if changes make a difference.
