In this book I hope to show you how to use the data you're already generating to make
your teams, processes, and products better. The goal of the book is to teach your agile
team which metrics it can use to objectively measure performance. You'll learn what
data really counts, along with where to find it, how to get it, and how to analyze it.
Because meaningful data may be gathered or used by any part of an agile team, you'll
learn how all team members can publish their own metrics through dashboards and
radiators, taking charge of communicating performance and individual accountability.
Along the way, I hope you'll pick up practical data analysis techniques, including a
few emerging Big Data practices.
