How do these companies scale down the workload for 4 day a week employees? Estimates in the software field are based on intuition. I could easily see this becoming, "get 5 days of work done in 4 days and get paid less for it" if the people involved aren't used to estimating based on 4 day work weeks.
- tharkun__ 5y agoCan you elaborate on your context maybe? Asking because to me this intuitively doesn't make sense but my context is agile software development with sprint and story points. Since story points are a relative complexity measure they don't care about how long the work week is. The velocity measured over each sprint in these points also doesn't. Velocity is just an average number of observed story points delivered per time period. How many days were 'work days' and which, doesn't really matter.
