I don’t want to appear too jaded, I consider myself a realist. One component of this collapse of measurement into a single scalar is that many of us (us being those who either engineer software or are close to it, and the software lifecycle) need to do better at explaining the trade-offs. However, I would be surprised it even with better explanations the outcome, the reckoning, is any different. How many quarters ahead does your management plan? How many years? Average tenure for a Chief Revenue Officer is less than 4 years for example.
