So metrics are something that exists whether you like it or not. It's just whether you're aware of it. So em are a good example because they have to balance between business outcomes and internal metrics like health check and and how easy it is for developers to push code to production and things like that. So and they have to keep an eye on everything. And if it's up to the team to decide whether we want to measure things or not, we just provide the ability. But in general, we advise team to start discussing their business outcomes and business context along with their health metrics because in the end of the day, the company will be making decisions on your promotions based on those results. And in this situation at least you have control and contribute uh towards a positive result without making the situation really bad. So it's at least having an honest conversation.
>> Yeah. And as a a leader myself, it helps us to decide where to put our budgets based on what teams are producing more value, what teams are producing less value. also how to switch our team topologies, how to support the team in different ways. It doesn't mean you go in and you micromanage the specific house on how to let's say uh improve team dynamics within each individual team, but you do do need to have some overall information so that you know as a leader where uh more focus needs to be put or less focus or more money or less money or these kind of questions.
I think in general things in the current state of the industry people want to have more responsibility and more be more useful. That's just you're a proud engineer, you're a proud designer, you want to do that. And I think having visual metrics and let's say we delivered an experiment, how many signups, how many incidents we had and so on. This is important for our pride but also an opportunity to really improve. If if we see that a result that is not satisfying for us, let's have a conversation about that.
>> Oh, I absolutely love that. taking the monkey out of the engineer. They want to succeed as you said and using these metrics to ask better questions so that you have better experiments moving forward is an absolute gold mine to be able to have this ability.
