In the world of software development, metrics have a significant impact on behavior. Remember that we work with people, not just code. Throughout the day, there are several reasons why people use metrics. The first reason is for planning and tracking progress. We aim to predict and gain a clear understanding of our current situation and end goal. To achieve this, it's crucial to understand how people work and how we can influence their behavior. Measuring progress helps businesses make informed decisions.
