Avoid comparing your team's performance with incomparable metrics. The interpretation of 30 story points varies significantly between teams.

If you keep comparing apples to oranges then you will keep…

- wasting your time

- making your teams feel unsafe

- making the wrong decisions

Instead:

✅ Normalized data with a normalized scale so we can apply context and compare situations while giving the team a voice for clarity

✅ Get the real picture with a balanced approach: Qualitative & Quantitative having a clear understanding of the practices and behaviors (qualitative) that drive performance metrics (quantitative)

Here’s Why:
- Your backlog management tool’s reports and data won’t always reflect the truth (ask anyone who accidentally ended the Jira sprint before accepting all the stories)
- Performance Metrics can over simplify complex situations, missing the complete picture
- The context surrounding the data varies for each team, making direct number comparisons impractical.
- It can be demoralizing for a team to face penalties in situations that are not clear to those imposing them, depriving the team of a voice in the process.

The solution? LAI Quantitative Capability Assessments!

🎯 Simplified Measurement: Allows all metrics to be discussed on a straightforward 1 to 4 growth scale easily comprehensible by everyone.
🎯 Safe Discussions: Creates an environment where teams can candidly discuss their performance without fear of misjudgment based on raw statistics.
🎯 Accurate Context: Paints the real picture of team performance by aligning it with the specific context of their work providing value.
