Truly a heap of metrics that eat out the time of middle management, and consequently of the people down the hierarchical pyramid. It over-allocates resources towards resource management itself rather than towards products themselves You mean, it provides lots of avenues for the management class to provide cushy jobs for each other, at the expense of the real workers. Most organisations could ditch most of their middle management without skipping a beat.
