How Agile Teams Can Improve Predictability by Measuring Stability
In this article, we will present our approach for analysing agile systems as networks of queues and how we have used it to analyse 926 projects in the Public Jira Dataset. We explain how you can measure the Stability Metric (SM) for your queues. Finally, we will present our planned next phase of research.

Data-Driven Decision Making - Software Delivery Performance Indicators at Different Granularities
Optimizing a software delivery organization is not a straightforward process standardized in the software industry. Getting the organization to analyze the data and act on it is a difficult undertaking. This article presents insights into how a socio-technical framework for optimizing a software delivery organization has been set up and brought to the point of regular use.

Are They Really Using It? Monitoring Digital Experience to Determine Feature Effectiveness
This article reflects on the challenges of determining user experience and effectiveness and how modern techniques such as Real User Monitoring and Application Performance Monitoring can determine the true effectiveness of features. It includes stories from banking to show which measures can help agile teams determine not only if features are being used, but diagnose other common issues too.

Why is Everything So Slow? Measuring and Optimising How Engineering Teams Deliver
As teams grow, they will slow down, but it should not mean that teams stop delivering value that can power future business growth. Avoiding excessive technical debt and ensuring systems are secure and performant becomes increasingly important. As an engineering leader, you can do things to be confident that your team is moving at the fastest and most sustainable pace.

Improving Speed and Stability of Software Delivery Simultaneously at Siemens Healthineers
In this article, we focus on the software delivery process at Siemens Healthineers Digital Health. The process is subject to strict regulations valid in the medical industry. We show our journey of transforming the process towards speed and stability. Both measures improved at the same time during the transformation, confirming research from the “Accelerate” book.

A Journey in Test Engineering Leadership: Applying Session-Based Test Management
This article shows how modifying Session-based Test Management to our context helped us gain more visibility into our testing. Having a structured yet flexible approach to test management allowed us to make better, more timely decisions about the testing, and gave us more opportunities to influence quality decisions earlier in the process.
