The KPI pairs that keep you honest. In this episode, I talk with Jani Grönman about KPIs for quality. We ask what to measure, and why. Jani shares pairs that keep teams honest. Test pass rate with escaped defects or flaky tests. Mean time to recovery with reopen rate. Lead time to production with customer impact. One team, one number. Keep it to three or four KPIs, own them, and act. We talk about agency at work and product sense. Your tests are not a scoreboard. They are a feedback loop. Bring product and engineering together, do root cause analysis. I left inspired to pick fewer numbers, tell stories, and ship with care. "If you cannot measure what you change, it's really hard to lead the change." - Jani Grönman Jani works as a Managing Partner at Hidden Trail, his mission being turning quality from a cost into competitive advantage.
