The Cost of Zero
Busy teams.
Zero metric movement.

More valuable — 5 metric-moving features vs 50 dead releases
A feature no one uses has zero value — regardless of how fast it shipped.
A team shipping 5 metric-moving experiments outperforms one shipping 50 tickets every sprint.
Busyness is not growth.
