Steering Agile Performance and Governance with Fact-Based NEN NPR 5333 Metrics
For steering committees, portfolio leaders and delivery governance roles
Description
Agile software delivery does not automatically lead to predictable outcomes, transparent decision-making or effective governance. Many organizations still rely on subjective status reporting, inconsistent metrics and delivery narratives that are difficult to compare across projects, teams and suppliers.
This training explains how NEN NPR 5333 can be used to steer Agile software delivery with objective, fact-based metrics. Participants learn how standardized performance indicators, software quality metrics and Functional Size Measurement help create transparency around predictability, quality, productivity, cost efficiency and delivered business value.
The focus is practical: how to interpret meaningful metrics, how to avoid misleading indicators, how to structure governance conversations and how to use fact-based information for portfolio, sourcing and delivery decisions. Participants do not need detailed technical software development knowledge, but they should be involved in decision-making, governance or steering of software delivery.
Audience Profile
This training is intended for steering committee members, portfolio managers, senior programme managers, delivery managers, IT managers, Product Owners, sourcing managers, vendor managers and senior stakeholders responsible for software delivery, governance, sourcing or digital transformation.
