Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 161!\n\nThe SPaMCAST 161 provides an overview of a pallet of metrics tailored to agile projects. The essay\xa0begins:\nWhen talking about metrics to measure agile processes one should begin by defining \u201cwhy\u201d you want to measure followed immediately by \u201cwhat\u201d we will do with the data when we know it. As I have noted before there are only two reasons to measure. \xa0The first is to generate specific behaviors and secondly to predict the future. \xa0Organizational goals provide the rational for what to measure and the type of measure determines whether it drives behavior or provides direction.\n\nInterested in the PMO Leader of the Year award? \xa0Check out www.leadingsuccessfulpmos.com\nThe PMO Leader of the Year Award will be presented to the PMO Leader, nominated by their PMO team, who shows the most excellent leadership and understanding of what a PMO can deliver to a business.\nA panel of independent judges will review all submissions to consider how each nominee has led their PMO over at least the last 12 months and how they plan to grow the PMO under their stewardship in the coming months.\n\nInterested in becoming a radio star?\nAre you interested in writing and reading reviewing tools or books? \xa0Drop me a note at spamcastinfo@gmail.com if you have an opinion!\n\nShameless Ad for my book!\xa0\nMastering Software Project Management: Best Practices, Tools and Techniques co-authored by Murali\xa0Chematuri and myself and published by J.
