The measurement of development efforts often fails because organizational effectiveness teams tend to fall into one of six traps.
- Lacking alignment with what really matters to critical stakeholders.
- Building plans that are too elaborate.
- Defining measurement approaches that can’t be practically executed.
- Defining tracking mechanisms in areas where the resources to execute on them aren’t bought in or don’t have permission to follow through on the work.
- Lacking alignment of measurement work with cultural norms and expectations.
- Missing the mark in terms of measurement-capture tangibles, presentations, or scorecards.
In this post, published on August 11 in SmartBlog on Leadership, we highlight specific ways to avoid these mistakes.
