The better managers I know are pretty critical of quantifying every work metric possible. Either you get it or you don't but perhaps that separates good managers from bad ones. If you cannot define a goal that people can work towards aside from a most uncreative KPI, it is always a management problem. At least in engineering. It is a work culture thing, but if you have a constructive one established, these tools can do much damage.
