What type of metrics can an RTE share to improve transparency?

Team performance metrics are crucial for an RTE to share in order to enhance transparency within the Agile Release Train (ART). These metrics typically include information about teams' velocity, quality of work, predictability, and any impediments they may be facing. By openly communicating this data, the RTE creates an environment where team members and stakeholders can understand how well the teams are functioning.

The availability of team performance metrics allows for better collaboration and informed decision-making. It helps identify areas where improvement is needed, recognizes high-performing teams, and provides insights into how effectively teams are delivering value to the organization. Ultimately, these metrics support continuous improvement efforts across the ART.

While other metrics like financial ratios, personal skill assessments, or market analysis reports may provide valuable information in other contexts, they do not directly contribute to improving transparency and fostering collaboration within the Agile teams and their stakeholders in the same way that team performance metrics do.
