“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it,” as Peter Drucker put it. But that approach doesn’t just apply to your supply chain management, revenue or churn rates – most fundamentally, it also applies to people and our performance.

Measuring that is inherently messy and difficult, which is why crafting effective KPIs for people’s performance is so challenging.

Large engineering organizations face a common problem – different teams working on different parts of a product can end up having specific domain knowledge, and even specific cultures, that can lead to silos. With siloed engineering knowledge, teams can start building fortresses, which can make it harder for others to jump in and contribute to the company’s goals.
