In almost all industries, a standard set of KPIs helps to guide teams on whether they are doing the right things in the right ways, with the right outcomes. In software development, this is something that can sometimes go untouched, allowing ourselves and fellow developers to continually work on our code and platforms without making sure we are paying attention to what matters. Some development frameworks, such as Agile, have some KPIs baked directly into them. For example, when calculating your team's story point velocity, you likely establish a benchmark after a few sprints, which becomes a team KPI to meet or exceed.
