#marketing is easier if you have metrics to support your impact. I like to always tie my metrics back to dollars.
permalinkOne common hangup I've encountered when discussing #marketing my work with other engineers is the notion that the work was easy or trivial to implement. That's not the important part! What the org cares about is impact. Tell a good story!
