What is the Mid-Market Engineering Metrics for Leaders course about?
Without clear, actionable metrics, engineering leaders default to output tracking that overlooks team health, equity, and long-term sustainability. This leads to misaligned priorities, burnout, and missed opportunities to influence strategy. The shift to hybrid work has amplified these gaps, making it harder to assess contribution, collaboration, and velocity objectively.
