I feel a metrics are only valuable to the team itself (if they find them helpful). No one else should be looking at them because as you touch on, they are meaningless to anyone else. My team points stories and we just that as an idea of how much work to take on for the week. If we under or overshoot, it's not a big a deal, but story points help us relay externally what will likely get done this week. No one is going to be able to look at how many points we did in a week be able to get anywhere close to an accurate representation of how much work we did. Even looking at how often we hit our mark is going to tell them nothing about our productivity.
