Sorry, you lost me on this one! All metrics will be gamed to uselessness. I'm sure Joel already wrote something sarcastic about this 20 years ago.
- Cpoll 6y agoThe metrics listed are: > Short lead time > High deployment frequency > Short mean time to restore (MTTR) > Low change fail percentage Those aren't as easy to game as LoC, which is the usual example for gamed metrics when people say "a metric that becomes a target stops being a good metric." I think that saying is contextual, in any case. If you take it to the logical extreme you have to make organizational decisions without any information.
