There have been a few formal quality management efforts in recent history\, from Quality Circles in the '80s to Six Sigma and Agile now. All started out with a lot of fanfare because of documented successe s\, all led to initial improvements in quality and quantity of engineerin g development -- and all seemed to lose their effectiveness over time. A large cause if this is...metrics.

\n

But aren't metrics necessary to any modern engineering effort? Absolutely. But metrics have a Dark Side and if you don't take charge and make metrics work for you\, you will fin d yourself (and your team and your entire company) working for metrics. W ith metrics comes an alter upon which you must sacrifice productivity and innovation -- the mortal enemies of metrics.

\n

We will discuss wha t metrics tell you about your development efforts\, but more importantly what they do \;not tell you. Also common uses for metrics th at should never be allowed.
