Abstract
This session is all about agile metrics. Haven't heard about much about agile metrics before? Not surprising. It's a whole lot more than a velocity and a couple of burn-down charts. I'll cover why metrics are important, what we should be measuring (agile vs. traditional), when to do it, and what we should not be worrying about. And, we'll talk about how we might get managers to embrace these concepts of metrics.

Finally, I'll introduce you to the concept of Evidence Based Management. I'll discuss why it is important to an organization's agile implementation, how it's being rolled out and how to use it to move agile beyond software development to the whole organization.
