Watch Out For Old Data Metrics #5amMesterScrum Show 1272

5am Mester Scrum

Watch out for social media as well as Metrics and Ranking published before your use them for your own decisions. The other day I was at a meeting and the leader share a Ranking for the city of Philadelphia and we were at the bottom. So I was curious as to what the measure was. I googled the ranking info and its AI brought the study right to the top. I was impressed and I saw some social media posts recently referencing the same info. So read the data and most was from 1978 and 1992 study. I'm like oh no! The world has changed quite a bit since then. In my brain I was thinking I hope they did not spend money on a study that just repackaged old data and someone is out there just re-posting without really knowing the data behind the metric.

Be careful of metrics and data that is being shared.
