When an analyst sets the key objectives of a sprint, they prioritize the performance metrics (in the Sprint Performance Dashboard), assess the complexity of each metric based on the schedule and individual matchups within the Sprint, and assigns a value to them. Value for performance metrics vary from Sprint to Sprint and player to player based on the competition of the schedule and what the team needs him to do. This assesses the feasibility of each metric and forces players to challenge themselves in other areas when goals related to their strengths and skillsets are difficult to accomplish (for example, the chances of winning the matchup of scoring or rebounding against a guard like Russell Westbrook is low, therefore the guard in that matchup is forced to find other performance metrics they will win in that matchup, thus creating value).

But they are nonetheless self-organizing, with influence from those who can assist them in achieving the team goal (such as analyst creating ways of measuring value and the team lead adopting new offensive/defensive strategies). The player’s job is to self-organize around team challenges, boundaries, and constraints identified by the analyst or player ...
