Forthcoming book · Waitlist open
Why teams still optimise for velocity, burndown, and utilisation when executives say they want value, and what to measure instead.
Two decades after the Agile Manifesto, the gap between what leadership says they want (outcomes, value, predictability) and what teams actually report on (story points, burndowns, capacity) is wider than ever. This book is about closing it, without turning engineering organisations into reporting machines.
CTOs, VPs of Engineering, product and delivery leaders, Agile coaches, and senior scrum masters: anyone tired of dashboards that look busy but don't change a single decision.
It connects Scrum's Evidence-Based Management, DORA, modern flow metrics, and market evidence into a single, practical measurement model, then shows what it actually looks like in a real engineering org.
A decade where this trap was most punishing: Desjardins (tier-1 bank), DRW (event-driven trading), and Morgan Stanley (ISG Architecture & Governance). SAFe Advanced Scrum Master · PSM I & II.
Scrum Guide, the EBM Guide, the Accelerate / DORA body of work, State of Agile survey data, and primary interviews with delivery leaders running real measurement programs. Nothing made up, nothing handwaved.
