Recommended Huddle Metrics
Guidelines for creating metrics:
- Focused: Submissions should be fast so 7 is the ideal number of metrics for each submission cycle.
- Meaningful: Ensure metrics are aligned with your strategic goals. Use your organisation's own voice and terminology.
- Actionable: Ensure metrics are relevant and actionable in teams. Avoid vague, high-level or abstract concepts.
- Engaging: Update/rotate your metrics regularly to keep the process fresh and relevant.
Recommended Metrics
Our recommended metric set has been developed based on validated research into team health and effectiveness and our own research across thousands of teams using Teamgage. These metrics provide an effective indicator of their ability to successfully navigate change and perform at a high level.Metric Name | Description | Anchor Points |
