I've teamed up with my buddy Rob Myers to deliver "Metrics in an Agile World" at 11:00am Thursday on the Leadership & Teams stage of Agile 2009. We're going to be looking at how metrics work with Agile, which ones are appropriate, and pitfalls to avoid. Here's the blurb:

James Shore (coauthor of The Art of Agile Development) and Rob Myers of Agile Institute help you examine the role of metrics on Agile teams. We take a broad survey of metrics being used on Agile projects, both traditional and innovative, and look at the value and dangers to the success of the team. We look at how the simple act of measuring, itself, can be harmful, and when it is well-justified. Metrics at every level of the Agile organization will receive scrutiny: Measuring value, team performance, progress, quality, and even code design attributes will be taken into consideration.
