Answers to Divya: What measurable metrics scrum master uses to track the progress of agile development teams ?
1 min readJan 7, 2023
Tricky questions, an agile team should focus on two metrics only: time-to-market and return-of-investment. Indeed you can add a lot of other one like:
- velocity: which is not helpful because it assumes that the team is fully dedicated, nobody leaves the team, and each time you have a new comer the old data is obsolete
- cost of delay: is more for management than for the team
- etc
The most important one are the first I wrote here.
What measurable metrics scrum master uses to track the progress of agile development teams ?
For a Scrum Master, the progress of a team is measured differently:
- commitment
- communication with the team
- ability to say no
- proactiveness
- curiosity
- team player
The only performance a scrum master should measure is behavioural.
The scrum master provides a lot of other metrics but not for the team.
