Software engineering metrics are quantitative measures that assess development productivity, code quality, and project health. Teams use these data points—like velocity, lead time, and defect density—to identify bottlenecks, forecast timelines, and refine workflows. Engineering managers, developers, and product owners benefit by making data-driven decisions, improving team efficiency, and delivering more reliable software. Ultimately, these metrics turn raw development activity into actionable insights for continuous improvement.
