Too Long; Didn't Read
Picture this. A gaggle of CIOs from various industries meeting to discuss digital transformation and business agility. About 20 in the room. I ask <strong><em>“how many of you know a flow metric for your organisation?”</em></strong>. Any data point of any flow measure would have done. Lead time, cycle time, throughput, release cadence, averages, percentiles, median, a flow efficiency measure, percentage of strategic products in their organisation with the 80th percentile Lead Time consistently less than 4 weeks for the past rolling 6 months, a vector metric trend of any of the above, etc.
