The Importance of Transparency in Agile Sports

Agile Sports relies on transparency in order for the team to succeed. Transparency in the data, transparency in the player’s feedback, transparency in the team goals and transparency in the outcomes. Decisions to optimize value, make personnel decisions and craft a strategy are dependent on the quality and transparency of the data that the team collects and analyzes. If transparency is achieved, decisions can be based on quantitative analysis. If the data and analysis are not transparent, the resulting decisions will be poor, value and performance will diminish, and team winning may be compromised.

Value for performance metrics vary from Sprint to Sprint & player to player based on the competition of the schedule & what the team needs him to do. This assesses the feasibility of each metric & forces players to challenge themselves in other areas when goals related to their strengths and skillsets are difficult to accomplish (for example, in basketball the chances of winning the matchup of scoring or rebounding against a guard like Russell Westbrook is low, therefore the guard in that matchup is forced to find other performance metrics they will win in that matchup, thus creating value). It’s very important that the entire team share a clearly defined & common understanding of the value ...
