Top-5 metrics to manage remote teams in the new reality of enforced remote working

In the new reality of enforced remote working, effectively managing and measuring the performance of remote teams has become crucial for organisations. The shift to remote work, accelerated by recent events, has highlighted the need for metrics, visibility, governance, and risk management in Agile software delivery, especially in large-scale organisations. What was once considered important has now become essential.

At Plandek, our extensive experience has demonstrated the significant benefits of having a comprehensive end-to-end view of the software delivery process across all teams. This holistic perspective allows organisations to identify bottlenecks, optimise workflows, and enhance collaboration, regardless of the physical location of team members.

Amid the challenges of managing remote teams, certain metrics have emerged as particularly important. These metrics provide insights into the productivity, efficiency, and overall performance of remote teams, enabling organisations to make data-driven decisions and effectively address any issues that may arise.
