Leaders want proof that the team delivers. Give it from the work itself, in one page a month: progress on goals, work delivered, how much was right the first time, how long work takes, and where time goes. That answers "is my team productive?" better than any activity score.
What "productive" really means to a leader
- Are we hitting our goals?
- Is the work good?
- Are we faster or slower than before?
- Can we take on more?
Each has an answer in the work.
