An organization's Center for Enablement (CAE) has built foundational assets (API specifications and implementation template, common frameworks, and best practices guides) and published them to Anypoint Exchange.
What is a metric related to these foundational assets that helps the organization measure the success of its C4E efforts?
The most effective metric to measure the success of a Center for Enablement (C4E) is the utilization counts of foundational assets in production applications. This is because it directly indicates the practical implementation and real-world usage of the assets developed by the C4E. Metrics like downloads or lines of businesses using the assets do not necessarily equate to actual adoption and impact in live applications, whereas production utilization shows that the assets are being effectively integrated and utilized in a way that aligns with the C4E's goals of enabling and accelerating delivery.
Here's why: A. Correlation of key performance indicators (KPIs) of production applications with foundational assets might be a good indicator of the overall impact of the C4E's efforts, but it doesn't directly measure the utilization of the foundational assets themselves. B. Correlation of each foundational asset with the counts of developers that downloaded each asset focuses on downloads, which doesn't necessarily translate to usage in production. Developers might download them for reference but not implement them. D. Counts of how many lines of businesses (LoBs) consumed each foundational asset provides some insight, but it doesn't tell you how extensively they are being used.
ChatGPT: Of these options, C (Utilization counts of foundational assets in production applications) is typically the most direct metric to measure the success of C4E efforts because it reflects actual implementation and reuse of the assets, which is the core goal of a C4E.
I would go for C, what runs in production is what counts the most.
B. Correlation of each foundational asset with the counts of developers that downloaded each asset This metric helps measure the adoption and impact of foundational assets by looking at the engagement of developers. If a foundational asset, such as an API specification or implementation template, is frequently downloaded by developers, it suggests that the asset is being used and is contributing to the organization's development efforts. Tracking the correlation of downloads with developer engagement provides insights into the effectiveness and popularity of the assets within the organization.
I would say C, at the end of the day, what runs in production is what counts the most. With answer B, developers can play around with API's but it doesn't have to say anything about the quality of the API.
