Agile Metrics are an emergent topic, especially for Agile teams that are ready to progress to a more mature delivery approach or to attempt larger and more complex products and projects.

Recently the Project Management Institute (PMI) launched the Agile Metrics Micro-Credential. And the two most popular ‘scaled’ Agile frameworks, Disciplined Agile and SAFe, started as Lean delivery approaches, splitting Lean from the Lean Six Sigma science that has been very successful in manufacturing.

Most Agile ‘metrics’ are relative metrics – very useful for a small team but challenged at the Enterprise and even at the project level.

In this webinar based on Stelian Roman’s (LinkedIn profile) experience using the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, & Control) framework for Process Improvement for software development projects, with a focus on M (Measure).

Drawing on decades of psychological research and data from 96,000,000 responses across 550 organizations, Matthew Champagne, Ph.D (LinkedIn profile) identified 5 key practices for trainers, speakers, evaluators and survey practitioners:

  1. Timing – ask key questions BEFORE your event
  2. Frequency – generate huge WIIFM for your attendees
  3. Closing-the-Loop – prove their voice was heard and show how they compare to others
  4. Internal Incentives – using (free) feedback
  5. Sharing results with non-responders – the “oops method” to increase response rates

A methodology called “Survey Conversation” combines these 5 practices into a Win-Win for all parties:

  1. For hosts, trainers and speakers, it invariably results in higher engagement and audience satisfaction;
  2. For attendees, it creates a far more memorable and impactful experience at virtual/in-person events;
  3. For those who evaluate and gather feedback from learning events, it maximizes response rate and generates more accurate and actionable results.

Matthew will describe each key practice, provide specific examples from a wide variety of clients (cruise lines, universities, telecoms, membership organizations, digital marketers, utilities) and show how to apply

Survey Conversations to your own educational or sales webinars, training events, masterminds, and conferences.
