You are Measuring Productivity Wrong

Based on published research, you will take home a new framework for understanding and implementing a more wholistic approach to productivity measurements.

Understanding how productive you and your organization are at writing software is often nebulous. When you measure productivity it is with metrics that can be gamed or don't necessarily improve the overall process. You don't know that you are busily not meeting your goals when you only measure activity. You also need to measure and improve in Satisfaction, Performance, Communication and Efficiency. You will categorize and choose your metrics to better understand and improve the productivity of your team.

This session can be modified for 30-60 minutes and targets a wide audience from developers to product managers. I came up through early Agile and Scrum as a developer, architect, DevOps practices consultant, and now a GitHub Solutions Engineer for the worlds largest consulting and advisory organizations. I have seen and worked on teams with a lot of types of measurements and the [SPACE framework](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3454122.3454124) is one of the most interesting advancements in understanding our productivity as development organizations.
