Product Development Flow Success Metrics
This page surfaces metrics related to the product development flow
Quarterly Survey Results
Product Development Flow Survey Q2 2020
Cycle Time Metrics in Sisense
Q4 2020 Before vs. After Comparison
An initial quantitative analysis was done for the first major update of the PDF in December 2020 looking at:
- Are we driving more opportunities for collaboration?
- Are we reducing the total steps required?
- Have we simplified things (judged by word count)

| Collaboration Touchpoints | Total Steps | Word Count | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Flow | Total = 11 Validation phase 1: 2 (sensing mechanisms, feedback from internal/community) Validation Phase 2: 2 (working with designer to refine backlog, working with research) Validation Phase 3: 1 (team review of proposed solution) Validation Phase 4: 1 (PM and Designer collaborate with research) Review Step: 1 Build Phase 1: 1 (review and breakdown of designs as a team) Build Phase 2: 2 (instrumentation, release post) Build Phase 3: 1 (dogfooding) Build Phase 4: n/a? (this was already updated) |
Total = 68 Validation phase 1: 3 Validation Phase 2: 9 Validation Phase 3: 4 Validation Phase 4: 17 Review Step: 6 Build Phase 1: 12 Build Phase 2: 10 Build Phase 3: 4 Build Phase 4: 3 |

| New Flow | Total = 37 - 3x+ increase Validation phase 1: 4 (sensing mechanisms, feedback from stakeholders, listing who to inform, who to collaborate with) Validation Phase 2: 5 (working with research, listing who to inform, listing who to collaborate with, communicate with stable counterparts and stakeholders, consider review with leadership) Validation Phase 3: 9 (listing who to collaborate with, who to inform, diverge as team, converge as team, validate approach with stakeholders, user validation, review proposal with team, review with leadership, engage engineering peers) Validation Phase 4: 3 (who to collaborate with, who to inform, gather feedback from stakeholders) Review Step: 1 Build Phase 1: 5 (who to collaborate with, who to inform, review with contributors, POC with engineering, quad planning) Build Phase 2: 6 (who to collaborate with, who to inform, keep stakeholders informed regularly, asynchronous updates, SET activities, technical writers review docs) Build Phase 3: 4 (who to inform, who to collaborate with, follow up with stakeholders, release post, dogfooding) Build Phase 4: n/a? (not going to do a compare here) |
Total = 30 - great than 50% reduction Validation phase 1: 2 Validation Phase 2: 2 Validation Phase 3: 4 Validation Phase 4: 2 Review Step: 6 Build Phase 1: 3 Build Phase 2: 2 Build Phase 3: 6 Build Phase 4: 3 |
