The Importance of Measuring Outcomes
One crucial aspect of determining whether your backlog process is effective is measuring the outcomes. Many teams fall into the habit of following a set routine without considering if it truly meets their needs. To break free from this habit, it is essential to identify what metrics and outcomes to measure. Even though measuring people's feelings may seem challenging, as a manager, you can gauge team sentiments through one-on-one meetings. By measuring and evaluating outcomes consistently, teams can adapt their processes and prioritize what truly matters.
