Many organizations implement measurements that unwittingly encourage or elicit poor practices and behaviors. As they become more Agile, the pillars of Empiricism allow for increased transparency which can easily be abused. This transparency can provide a wealth of information on how scrum teams are performing and allows for identification of improvement areas. Metrics that are put into place without consideration of the desired outcome result in a change in behavior and practice which may not lead to Agility. Metrics that elicit and encourage appropriate practices and values such as: Commitment, Courage, Focus, Openness and Respect will propel teams to higher performing states.
