Explore how agile metrics measure progress, quality, and customer value using velocity, sprint burndown, burn up charts, and NPS-driven insights for continuous improvement.
Learn velocity in agile, the average velocity of story points completed across sprints, and use the velocity chart, showing committed versus completed points, to set achievable goals with JIRA.
Boost velocity in agile projects by refining processes, enhancing collaboration, and removing obstacles, including daily stand-ups, better estimation, training, continuous integration, and effective retrospectives.
Track sprint progress with the sprint burndown chart, a day-by-day view of remaining story points that reveals deviations, enhances transparency, guides proactive delivery, and enables early issue detection.
Explore common antipatterns in burndown charts and learn how to interpret patterns—plateaus, spikes, and sudden drops—that reveal scope changes, incomplete updates, or unrealistic sprint goals.
Track sprint progress with a sprint burnup chart comparing cumulative completed work to scope, noting scope changes via red work scope line and green completed line, with a gray guideline.
Explore sprint health metrics in agile to track progress, time elapsed, work completed, scope changes, and days left, using color-coded story points to assess whether the team is on track.
Explore epic burndown metrics to track progress of large epics across multiple sprints, using story points and velocity to project completion with tools like JIRA.
Learn to assess product backlog health by comparing refined backlog to twice average velocity (story points), compute backlog health percent, and visualize readiness for sprints with a Jira horseshoe gauge.
Learn the defect density formula—defects divided by lines of code—and how lower density signals higher code quality. Use sprint data, noting densities like 1.33 and 0.40 to spot trends.
Measure code coverage metrics to quantify how many lines of code are executed by unit tests, highlighting untested lines to reduce bugs and improve software quality in CI/CD pipelines.
Learn to measure team happiness with regular surveys and track morale over time. Interpret statements like 'I feel fit and strong' and 'I find the work meaningful' to drive improvements.
Learn how the net promoter score measures customer loyalty on a 0–10 scale, classifying respondents as promoters, passives, or detractors, and calculating promoters minus detractors to yield -100 to 100.
Explore lead time as an agile metric measuring from backlog creation to completion, and learn to identify bottlenecks using kanban workflows and Jira reports.
Learn to measure cycle time, the active work phase from start to finish on a Kanban board, to identify bottlenecks and speed up delivery.
Explore throughput metrics in agile to measure the number of tickets closed per week. Analyze trends and average throughput to improve predictability and team performance.
Use the cumulative flow diagram (CFD) to visualize agile progress across to do, in progress, and done. Identify bottlenecks, track work in progress, and improve cycle times with data-driven insights.
Explore the four DORA metrics—deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and time to restore services—and how elite to low benchmarks guide improvement in software delivery.
Examine dora metrics for deployment frequency, lead time for changes, mean time to recover, and change failure rate through Team Alpha's analysis, highlighting elite thresholds and weekly deployment trends.
