Abstract

Metrics are about more than just compliance. They ground you in fact, enable informed decision making, and help your team understand performance while providing insight into program health. By understanding the why, what, and how behind metrics, your team can move from “just collecting data” to using metrics that enable better decision making, improve program outcomes, and deliver mission value. Get ready to hear all about our new Tactical Guide called Pack Light, Measure Right and Supplement called Decoding SWP Metrics.

What Will Attendees Learn?

  • How to select a minimal but sufficient set of measures to get the insight you need
  • How to implement measurement approaches that are compatible with iterative delivery
  • The hidden value in the metrics that you’re already collecting if you are on the Software Acquisition Pathway
