DESCRIPTION
Imagine a future in which you can more easily log, measure, and visualize work in ways that allows you to make decisions about how you improve, and choose work. Let's work together to change the culture around performance reviews by talking about the work we do, share metrics that expose the value of our work, and communicate about our work through visualizations.
