>You can look at developer velocity
Developer velocity compares what you thought the complexity of a problem was vs how much time it actually takes. It conflates the level of optimism with the speed of development and glosses over how complex the stories should be.
Smart developers get overly pessimistic when pointing stories if they're measured by developer velocity rather than actual business value delivered because it makes them seem faster.

Last time that metric was taken seriously developers deliberately inserted bugs.
- ams6110 10y agoPretty much any development metric that drives some kind of reward will be gamed (maybe even unconsciously) by the developers. It's just basic psychology.
- abalone 10y agoThose are issues with tying compensation and performance evaluation to metrics, not with detecting changes in them due to office environments.
