I think that productivity is a tough thing to measure...yes there are metrics, but do any of them give an accurate picture of productivity? What do you think is an accurate measure of productivity?
- vmateixeira 9y agoTime would be an accurate measure, considering the same level of quality is met.
- zip1234 9y agoTime spent working on the wrong thing is not productive. How do you measure quality in software? If you need to measure quality in order to measure productivity, than one cannot truly measure productivity.
- dullgiulio 9y agoOr to describe this in practice: you can write prefectly modular, documented, tested and well written code that gets top marks at cyclomatic complexity checks. And yet, if you think carefully, your program can be solved by a quick shell one liner. Were you productive at all?
- vmateixeira 9y agoYou don't need to measure quality, unless you want to achieve perfection. If you set your quality according to goals, you can ensure that no matter different software you write, it will need to meet same goals (same level of quality).
