Measure Engineering Success Based on Impact, Not Output

This standard mandates measuring engineering success based on impact, not output to ensure engineering performance reflects delivered value, not just technical execution.

1. Measure Engineering Success Based on Impact, Not Output:

Engineering performance should reflect delivered value, not just technical execution. This approach ensures that success is measured by impact.

• 1.1 Outcome-Driven KPIs:
  • 1.1.1 Velocity-Based Metric Transition:
    • Move beyond velocity-based metrics (e.g., story points) to outcome-driven KPIs.
    • Automate the tracking of outcome-driven KPIs.
  • 1.1.2 KPI Management:
    • Automate the tracking of velocity-based metric transitions.
    • Implement KPI tutorials.
• 1.2 Customer Satisfaction and Revenue Impact:
  • 1.1.2 Efficiency Improvement Alignment:
    • Align engineering success with customer satisfaction, revenue impact, and efficiency improvements.
    • Automate the tracking of customer satisfaction metrics.
  • 1.1.2 Alignment Management:
    • Automate the tracking of revenue impact metrics.
    • Implement alignment tutorials.
• 1.3 High-Value Initiative Proactivity:
  • 1.1.3 Task Completion vs. Initiative Suggestion:
    • Encourage teams to proactively suggest and drive high-value initiatives, not just complete assigned tasks.
    • Automate the tracking of high-value initiative suggestions.
  • 1.1.3 Initiative Management:
    • Automate the tracking of high-value initiative drives.
    • Implement initiative tutorials.

By measuring impact, organisations can ensure engineering success is aligned with business value.
