GOVERNANCE & CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Engineering Gamification
for KPI Alignment
Engineering teams don’t struggle to measure KPIs. They struggle to align on targets, build shared benchmarks, and sustain improvement without turning metrics into pressure.
Oobeya Gamification turns engineering KPIs into clear targets with thresholds and benchmark ranges—so Engineering Managers and CTOs can guide improvement with clarity.

Why engineering leaders use Gamification
Gamification is not about “competition.” It’s about creating a shared definition of success across teams—using KPI targets, thresholds, and benchmarks that drive continuous improvement.
KPI targets everyone understands
Replace vague expectations with explicit KPI targets—so teams know what “good” truly looks like.
Thresholds & benchmark ranges
Evaluate KPIs using consistent ranges (e.g., Elite / Fair / Needs Focus) and benchmark teams fairly over time.
Focus, not metric overload
Turn dozens of KPIs into clear focus areas—what to improve next, and why it matters.
Built for leadership conversations
Create consistent, governance-friendly performance discussions across teams, orgs, and portfolios.
KPI thresholds: from measurement to improvement
Oobeya Gamification applies a threshold model to engineering KPIs—so teams can move from “tracking” to “improving.”
How it works
Gamification is driven by three building blocks:
Leadership can standardize targets at the org level, while teams evolve thresholds as maturity increases.
Engineering KPIs that matter
Choose KPIs that reflect real outcomes—then set targets and benchmarks to drive consistent improvement.
Delivery & flow KPIs
Align teams on delivery goals using DORA and flow metrics—then track improvement over time.
Productivity KPIs
Set practical productivity targets without vanity metrics—focused on sustainable engineering output.
Quality & reliability KPIs
Use quality and reliability KPIs to ensure improvements don’t trade off long-term health.
Governance-friendly by design
Gamification supports consistent performance conversations—without forcing teams into unhealthy comparisons.
It enables leadership to set expectations, measure progress, and drive improvements fairly.
Set targets. Benchmark fairly. Improve continuously.
