Abstract/Description

How do you know if your team is focused on the right thing? Product teams often know that a project needs to change direction, but they don’t have a way to make that change quickly and safely, especially when so much work has gone into the product, so far. The agile manifesto asks us to, “practice responding to change over following a plan”. How do you do that if you are unsure of when to respond to change? That’s why Survival Metrics walks you through how to make fast pivot decisions that are politically safe and data-informed. With the clarity the framework provides, you’ll be able to avoid sunk cost fallacy by having a pivot story and benchmarks before you need to change so you can be more agile.
