DORA metrics are turning green while AI-assisted 'workslop' creates technical debt that traditional velocity measures completely miss, forcing engineering leaders to rethink how they measure genuine productivity versus amplified output volume.

When Green Dashboards Hide Red Flags

DORA metrics are turning green while AI-assisted 'workslop' creates technical debt that traditional velocity measures completely miss, forcing engineering leaders to rethink how they measure genuine productivity versus amplified output volume.

Traditional velocity metrics create false productivity gains that mask declining development ROI, while smart CTOs shift to measuring business alignment and technical decision-making to prove genuine efficiency to cost-conscious executives.

Velocity Theater: When Speed Metrics Become ROI Killers

Traditional velocity metrics create false productivity gains that mask declining development ROI, while smart CTOs shift to measuring business alignment and technical decision-making to prove genuine efficiency to cost-conscious executives.

Traditional engineering budget justifications fail because they focus on velocity metrics rather than business impact. Leading CTOs secure funding by translating technical achievements into measurable revenue outcomes and competitive advantages.

Traditional developer productivity metrics become misleading when AI generates 40-60% of code, requiring CTOs to measure developer judgment, prompt engineering skills, and business problem-solving instead of output volume.
