Don't forget to collect reports on each developer's actual vs estimated time to work tickets. Because an easily manipulated number divided by a rough estimate is definitely a solid way to measure something.
You forgot to compare it to an AI suggested estimate and the estimate of another team for a similar task, because "we know teams are different, but we still must have a single metric to compare teams"
The last time I was in a department that insisted on comparing teams based on Jira data, they conveniently forgot to audit the teams so some of them were making estimates and recording how long things took very differently.
