Key metrics to track and improve Sprint delivery

Plandek is a global leader in end-to-end software delivery metrics and analytics, working with clients of all sizes and levels of Agile DevOps maturity.

This series of Guides is intended as a practical resource to help you select the metrics that you might want to track (relevant to your use case), the tools you need to collect the data, and how you might set targets, embed the metrics across your organisation and drive real behaviour change, to improve your delivery effectiveness.

The guide draws on our experience with multiple clients who use Plandek’s end-to-end software delivery analytics to improve their delivery capability and outcomes. 

This Guide to improving Sprint delivery considers metrics and approaches for early, mature and advanced Sprint practitioners:

• Basic Sprint delivery metrics suitable for all levels of Sprint practitioners.
• A more integrated view of Sprint Velocity analytics is recommended for reasonably experienced Scrum Agile teams.
• Advanced real-time intelligent analytics is highly recommended for all levels of capability (and for resource-constrained organisations lacking Scrum Master resources).
