Unleashing the Power of Practice-Based Teams
summary
Product organisations scale practice teams by classifying work into seven types and classify work into seven types (Discovery, Delivery, Continuous Improvement, Defects, Operations, Consulting, Administration), measuring at the story/feature level and counting small/medium/large or story points. Examples: platform teams run Gatling for load tests; tie work to OKRs (e.g. 95% orders ready to ship in 2 hours, routing-rule updates within 4 hours). Use unified metrics (stories, time or points) to show trends, justify hires, and shift effort from operations/defects into delivery.
