Abstract
In today’s data-driven landscape, many organizations struggle with the misuse and misunderstanding of metrics, often losing sight of what truly drives success.
This session is designed to provide experienced professionals with practical, results-oriented techniques for redefining how we approach metrics, particularly within agile frameworks. Drawing on insights from industry thought leaders and our own proven business transformations, we’ll introduce a method that starts with clear goal setting and incorporates examples like product and team flow. By focusing on a few simple yet powerful tools, you’ll learn how to measure what really matters, delivering tangible value across various business scenarios.
Key Takeaways:
- How to use goal setting to set the context for what metrics to choose
- Using Product Delivery Type to help understand key metrics
- Using Flow metrics and how they benefit the team

Facilitators
Tom Perry is a storyteller. In his 25-year career as a software developer and architect, he has used his talent for storytelling to lead digital transformations, including at Visa, which resulted in a 30% decrease in defects and 60% faster time-to-market, and at USAA, where his exceptional coaching skill led the development team to delivering their first features eight times faster than had been projected at the start of the project. Now as an instructor and educator, Tom uses stories and real-world examples to inspire his students to see Agile and Scrum training as something they can integrate into their lives and work right away to create remarkable improvements — not just the efficiency of their work, but their own engagement and morale as well.
Tom also believes in Agile as a work-in-progress. He says, “I like to share my experiences and get others to share theirs, too. I’m imperfect, and I make a lot of mistakes — I use that imperfection to help invite learners to engage. I like to share the mistakes I’ve made. Largely because they make me laugh, but also because they’re learning experiences students can benefit from.”
