This comment claims to be able to tell, but doesn't mention any attempt to measure.
Most attempts to measure that I've read about find increased productivity with remote work. Do you believe your organization has circumstances that cause it to buck the trend, or that those measurements are flawed?
- serial_dev 3y agoI don't want to take a side in this argument (pro remote vs offsite vs hybrid), but productivity measurement in agile software development is hard and I have never seen it done well, so it's hard to trust these measurements with this decision. Another issue is the author's conscious and unconscious hidden biases and agendas. If a research is ordered by a video chat software company, you bet the result will be different than if it's paid for by a coworking space provider. Similarly, you'll have a different result if it's done by a SF company who needs to justify their expenses vs. by a remote team headed by a manager from the woods in Wyoming. By the third citation, you lose the source of the study, only have the clickbait outcomes like "86% productivity drop by onsite work", so I'm in the camp of "do whatever feels right for your team".
