Introducing Agile Analytics Teams Reporting

We’ve got some exciting news from Agile Analytics. Our new feature, "Teams Reporting," is here!  It gives you all the essential metrics for each team at a glance!

*“If everyone is responsible, no one is responsible.”*
       
        
 This statement shows that if KPIs or service levels are measured at a too high level, it is impossible to build support or ownership. Agile Teams have responsibility and autonomy, so important metrics must be calculated per team.
       
        
Every Agile implementation shows that once teams are made specifically responsible for a number of services in production, projects in Jira, and Git repositories, improvements are made faster. Team performance (and service levels) immediately skyrocket!
       
        
The 2001 statement from Werner Vogels (CTO of Amazon), "You build it, you run it," has proven itself. DevOps is based on this philosophy, and Agile Analytics Team-based reporting is the simplest and best way to see how a team is doing.

Teams Reporting includes all the metrics from Agile Analytics reported per team: 

The reports are sprint-based by default, covering one sprint as the time, though you can customize this to fit your needs.
     
      
 Measuring team performance helps you see where things are going smoothly and where they need to be improved. It boosts collaboration, aligns everyone toward common goals, and drives continuous improvement. In short, it’s your new go-to for making your team more productive and efficient.

Why Measuring team-based performance is essential?

Measuring team-based performance is essential for several reasons:     
      
1. **Spotting Bottlenecks:** We can quickly identify and address inefficiencies by tracking performance.

2. **Aligned, Common Goals:** This ensures all team members work toward the same objectives, improving focus, cohesion, and autonomy.
     
3. **Continuous Improvement:** Regular measurement allows for ongoing assessment and refinement of processes, leading to higher-quality outcomes.

Our experts are on hand to help you set everything up and get the most out of your trial. Don't miss this opportunity to revolutionize your team's performance with cutting-edge metrics and insights.

New European Cybersecurity Regulations are coming! Increased Accountability for Corporate Leadership

Recent legal developments in Europe in the Cyber security field are set to impact businesses throughout Europe, particularly those involved in software development. With stricter regulations on the horizon, The NIS2 Directive is the EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity (The EU cybersecurity rules introduced in 2016 were updated by the NIS2 Directive).

Recent legal developments in Europe in the Cyber security field are set to impact businesses throughout Europe, particularly those involved in software development. With stricter regulations on the horizon, The NIS2 Directive is the EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity (The EU cybersecurity rules introduced in 2016 were updated by the NIS2 Directive). It provides legal measures to boost the overall level of cybersecurity in the EU. Companies must reassess and enhance their cybersecurity measures to comply with the impending changes.

Increased Accountability for Corporate Leadership

One key aspect of the new European policy is the heightened accountability placed on corporate leadership. Under the new regulations, company executives will be **explicitly** responsible for their organisation’s cybersecurity policies. Failure to fulfil these duties could result in personal liability, including potential temporary suspension from their positions.

Historically, many executives have delegated cybersecurity matters to IT departments, with their involvement limited to budget approvals. However, the upcoming regulations demand a more proactive role from them. They are now required to approve cybersecurity measures, oversee their implementation, and ensure the security of their direct suppliers.

Implications for Software Development Operations

Now that companies are digitally interconnected, a weak backdoor at a small supplier can affect the entire chain. The new regulations, therefore, compel large companies to take more responsibility for their suppliers. They must assist them, for example, by sharing their knowledge.

The rules will be enacted in the Netherlands in 2025 and in other EU countries. These regulatory changes necessitate organisations to complete their comprehensive review of procedures and enhance the security of software development operations. Developers must integrate cybersecurity considerations into every stage of the software development lifecycle, from design to deployment. This includes implementing robust authentication mechanisms, encryption protocols, and secure coding practices to mitigate cyber risks effectively.

Furthermore, software development companies must extend their cybersecurity efforts to encompass their supply chain. Collaborating with suppliers to enhance their security posture is essential in safeguarding the ecosystem against potential threats. For instance, make sure all your hosting providers and cloud providers have the necessary certifications in the cybersecurity field.

While the new regulations present challenges, they also create opportunities for innovation and growth within the software development industry. Companies proactively investing in cybersecurity measures can gain a competitive edge by demonstrating their commitment to data protection and risk mitigation. Additionally, the demand for cybersecurity professionals will likely surge, creating opportunities for skilled individuals in the job market.

The impending European cybersecurity regulations NIS2 underscore the critical importance of robust cybersecurity practices in software development operations. By proactively enhancing security measures and aligning with regulatory requirements, companies can mitigate risks, protect sensitive data, and ensure their corporate leadership is safe from personal liability because of security issues.

Agile Analytics integrates with a wide variety of Software Development systems that enables real insight into your software operation 

Measure the Team Spirit using Leaderboards, reward team behaviour

Measure the balance between feature work and non-feature work

How are your team’s services performing? are they performing like the teams promised? 

match SLA/SLO to real-time monitoring systems and see if the team is focusing in ‘the right thing’

Detect previously undetected leaks in your code by scanning the repositories for lost keys and see how much work is 'in process’. How is the software 'stock' situation? are the teams regularly releasing new changes or are queues forming inside your software operation?

Agile Analytics now supports Sprint Insights

Agile Analytics allows you to integrate Jira project management to determine what of the completed (or created) tasks qualify as

- feature
- non-feature


ZEN Software created a machine learning classification algorithm to teach Agile Analytics what is a ‘feature’ and what not.
To help improve the accuracy you as user of Agile Analytics can train the model for your organisation.

This great new innovation allows Development Manager and Agile Coaches everywhere to see how the pace of feature dev is!
