Productivity in this case is fairly simple to calculate = Cost/Duration.
You can factor in the time (presumably that’s paid for so you should have a real number) and cost of materials (On-site use historical or replacement cost) yourself.
Your points holds more generally though, especially when there aren’t clear prices paid.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoThat isn't productivity, productivity is value/duration.
- alephu5 6y agoYou're absolutely right, but in "Agile" teams this is exactly how they measure productivity: story points (cost)/sprint (duration)
- etripe 6y agoAnd that is exactly why management shouldn't be looking at or comparing burndown charts. It's too tempting to see IT as a cost centre instead of an enabler.
