Another example of: you can’t manage what you can’t measure, but be careful what you measure because that’s what you get. Alternately: measuring cost is easy, measuring value is hard. So we don’t hire another dev because that’s expensive, whereas I don’t see all the time wasted by the people I already employ. Having said all that, it’s a hard problem, and I’m not sure what general advice can be applied.
- proamdev123 3y agoFantastic insights here. I’d add that another invisible cost(?) is that business users are going to develop their own tools no matter what. Why? Because they need them to do their jobs! So development is happening, whether it’s done by people with the title “developer” or not.
