Battery's Take on Managing and Measuring R&D Spend
with the Metrics Brothers
Max Schireson and Jason Mendel, from Battery Ventures recently published an article on Managing and Measuring R&D spend including key metrics from the DORA and SPACE frameworks and they also introduced their own 5 step R&D measurement framework including:
Allocate top down
Break R&D into granular buckets (not a lump sum)
Listen to product-adjacent teams that are customer-facing
Be deliberate about measuring success of R&D projects
Hold the full team accountable
The article also includes benchmarks from Battery Ventures portfolio company, LinearB.
