If you missed any of the posts this week or want to read them again, here is a quick summary.
Monday: What KPIs should you be tracking?
Whenever you start a new project, it is extremely important to track its progress.
Sure, you can just go with the plan and hope for the best, but we all know that doesn’t work.
Tuesday: Why do we even use KPIs?

Thursday: Who should use story points
One of the biggest pitfalls of any agile transformation is to make story points the center piece for long term planning. Even worse, when companies try to standardize velocity across teams for the sake of long term planning.
Friday: How to produce useful team reports
