Moving beyond velocity: Measuring real business impact
About this episode
In this episode of Leaders of Code, Dan Lines, cofounder and COO of LinearB; Ben Matthews, Senior Director of Engineering at Stack Overflow; and host Ben Popper talk about why velocity should be a diagnostic tool, not the primary goal of engineering teams.
