How do you measure your team's performance ?

How do you measure the performance of your team ? There are always different ways to measure it, but we are talking about technical teams here. Here are few things I can think of for a development team and some things taken from the book Accelerated.
  • Delivery lead time (less than one hour for changes)
  • Deployment frequency (on demand - multiple deploys per day)
  • Time to restore service (less than one hour)
  • Change fail rate (0-15%) 
  • Adaptability (teams having quick appetite org changes and change of feature requests)
  • SLA's (response less than 15 mins and resolution less than hour)
  • Able to turn on and off configuration for new features or turning off few stores/customers in region.
  • KBYC - Know before your customer (apart from auto recovery based on errors, also knowing before your customer complains)
  • Having a culture where everybody understands computer perform repetitive tasks and humans solve problems.
  • New work should be 50%, unplanned support work 25%, other work 25%(meetings, walkups, questions, routing maintenance)
Bottom line is, you own your ops. If you are NOT making your customer requests automated and self-supported, you will NOT have anytime to develop new features.

Whatever it is, a man dreamed for something achieved it, the path he chosen might be controversial but not the hard work he put for it, neither his capabilities nor his thoughts..... One thing for sure 2 generations before me they dont know about this guy , might be no body discusses about him after 2 generations, i am proud to be from the same historic period as he is..... His famous quotes: Think big, think fast, think ahead. Ideas are no one's monopoly "We cannot change our Rulers, but we can change the way they Rule Us. "Changing orbits is the key to our progress" Some Unofficial statements made by him : I dont...
