From Flow Metrics to Product KPIs
summary
Links strategic KPIs to delivery by scoring ideas with an ICE score, mapping them into KPI trees, and forecasting delivery with probabilistic forecasting driven by historical Jira data (85% of recent features had seven child issues). Forecasts rerun continuously—every few hours—so teams decide to shift WIP or drop work midstream. Post-release outcomes get a post-launch business review that measures KPI movement, records root causes when metrics don’t move, and feeds concrete learnings back into the innovation backlog.
