We measure happiness and various sentiments towards these areas like knowledge transfer, documentation, ci/cd reliability, pr velocity, etc.
The f1 pit crew analogy refers to how certain teams realized that measuring KPIs too religiously meant the vary difference of performance when it mattered.
Similar to other sports where coaching actually matters and these metrics are rather useless unless there’s a coaching role to be deliberate with them.

Did you face any challenges dealing with non-performers or under-performers dragging the team down?
- thenerdhead 5y agoYes. Those people tend to also be happiest with each of these areas and have coaching plans with their managers given they are also early in career. Unhappiest are the senior and principal talent, but not by much more.
- passivate 5y agoOkay, interesting. If you don't mind saying, what is the size of your team?
