Overview
Challenges activity-based tracking metrics and rebuilds the meaning of "on track" around outcome and decision markers rather than sheer throughput.

Your team can hit every sprint velocity target and still deliver the wrong thing on time. "On track" according to the dashboard and "on track" toward the outcome that matters are not always the same claim.
Areas Covered in the Session
- Why velocity and percent-complete measure motion, not progress
- The gap between activity metrics and outcome metrics
- Building genuinely outcome-based milestones into a schedule
- Questions to ask before declaring a project "on track"
- Red flags that hide comfortably inside a green dashboard
- A revised status framework built around outcomes, not activity
Who Will Benefit
- Project Managers and Program Managers
- Scrum Masters and Product Owners
- PMO Directors and Executive Sponsors reviewing dashboards
