Team Health Metrics

This session will explore ways the Paychex team:  1) Identified, captured, and visualized the key metrics that have proven helpful when assessing the overall productivity, predictability, health, and happiness of Agile teams across the organization,  2) Developed a custom “Team Health Dashboard” that pulls multi-dimensional data from AgilityHealth, HP PPM, and JIRA to produce a holistic view of how the teams are performing today, where they’re making measurable progress over time, and where additional focus may be needed,  3) Leveraged this insight to focus continuous improvement efforts at the team, program, and enterprise levels and ultimately delivered increased value and quality to the organization while working in more sustainable ways.

How the Customer is Key to Our Culture

At AgilityHealth, the culture is front and center on a wall that holds meaning to those that choose to work with us – employees, customers AND partners. “Trusted partner to our customer; impact over effort; care deeply” are a few key statements that ensure a customer-focused approach starts with an integrated voice of the customer in everything we do. In leading people operations, it offers the opportunity to build a culture inclusive of our customer and Dawn will share AgilityHealth’s key lessons from integrating those voices into core values.
