Shining a Light on Invisible Contributions in Agile Work

Making Invisible Work Visible

Lately I noticed, sprint velocity looked fine and Jira showed progress. But none of the key tests, critical analysis and silent validations are tracked.

After my observations I questioned: How much of our real work is visible?

In Agile teams, productivity is often measured by delivered outputs: written code, released features, completed user stories, increasing metrics in dashboards, sprint completion rates, closed Jira tasks, the number of successful CI/CD runs, pull requests deployed to production, or customer-facing new functionalities.

These are all important indicators. However, the behind-the-scenes efforts that make these visible outcomes possible are just as valuable.
