The best measure of how a project is going is using the software it is producing. Instead of using questionable data from Jira and the like, just try to use the software. Ask for a demo, or run the code yourself, or look through unit and acceptance tests.
- bitwize 10y agoDirect supervisors can do that and get a detailed feel for how it's going. But that's too touchy feely, too many variables. C-level execs want to know "are we on track to ship version 3.0 by the end of the quarter?" and they need a yes/no answer, justified by numbers and graphs. They don't know about unit tests, and can't be bothered to walk through the software itself.
