Traditional KPIs like ticket counts or lines of code harm developer productivity. Focus on measuring Cycle Time (how quickly tasks are delivered) and Story Points (task complexity) instead. Use metrics to support, not punish, teams. Consider context, team health, and collaboration to truly boost efficiency and morale.
