Learning is a core capability of software teams; here's how to measure it
summary
Claim: learning capability is the core team performance metric and it is measurable. Method: a 47-question LIC survey grouped into quality of task, social relationships, support for learning, learner efficacy. Tested with six teams across three organisations, analysed by visualisation plus interviews plus systems thinking, then surfaced specific gaps and coached targeted interventions (workshops, feedback practice, learning-needs discovery). Numbers are small so results are directional, but the instrument produces actionable threads teams can own and iterate.
