Measure: metrics that tell you where you are stuck
Most stuck engineering teams are not short on effort. They are short on a shared, trustworthy picture of how work flows. I define the handful of metrics that matter for your stage (delivery, quality, review, planning accuracy, team health), instrument them from the tools you already use, and set targets you can defend to your board. For teams of 10+ engineers this includes Operion, my delivery-risk analytics, which reads patterns in your Git and issue-tracker data and flags projects at risk early.
