I like the idea of the poker assessment to limit anchoring, but how does one aggregate colours!?
Kniberg’s Self-Assessment is indeed a nice (set of) team metrics. Curious why you left his “bottom line” (the why’s of Scrum) items out Stefan
Yes, makes sense! I'm not a fan of #velocity either but if a team uses time for estimating stories, then I'd expect them to track their "sprint success rate" historically, ie. trying to disclose how well their estimates have been turning out. Otherwise estimating would be wasted energy. Obviously the modern way to think about sprint success is via the Sprint Goal. I guess we'd be best of by checking performance both quantitatively (some metric) and qualitatively (sprint goal). 🤷🏼♂️
Metrics can be valuable if used correctly, but they should not be the sole measure of progress. Agile values human interaction and collaboration over metrics. Remember, Working software is the primary measure of progress."
Joseph A. LaBara someone's jumped into the anti-pattern game.... but go for it....get that book out there.

11moAh you don't even need to go that far into details to find ugly Agile Metrics. Just measure the % amount of conformity to a framework standard, irrespective of the team's ability to deliver value. 🥳
