Episode 11 - Maximize Your Software Development Productivity
The productivity of your software development team directly impacts your business value and outcomes. While scouting for tips on maximizing this productivity, you must have come across advice on focusing and evaluating your product development metrics.
But how do you map these metrics with the business value generated by your team?
In this episode of ZipChat, we chat with agile experts and tech leaders on how to maximize the productivity of your software team and how to measure the business value being generated by it.
Join this discussion where we find answers to questions such as:
- How do you ensure your team is effective, is it possible to quantify?
- You can’t manage what you can’t measure, why measure anything?
- Measure the process effectiveness, not the team or individuals
- Tips on implementing effective feedback loops
- How to do real-time monitoring of your process?
So join us from your peloton or grab some popcorn on the couch for this interactive ZipChat session. Submit your questions during registration for our experts to address. It’s an open mic, so come with your questions for our subject matter experts!
