Don't confuse objective with easily quantified. Did they ship the features they were responsible for? Did those features turn out well, with a low defect rate?

Don't confuse objective with easily quantified.
Did they ship the features they were responsible for? Did those features turn out well, with a low defect rate? Did they promptly address bugs? Any manager paying attention can answer these questions pretty objectively.

- nucleardog 3y ago> Did those features turn out well, with a low defect rate? Is the objective measure of “well” a low defect rate? Because it sounds like you’re leaving a substantial amount of the value of an experienced employee on the table if your measure is “does it do exactly what we asked for it to do” rather than “does it solve our problems”.
