Maybe some sort of per-worker hidden metric formula based on... Perhaps I didn't state my case well enough. Let me try this... The correlation between activity and achievement is not only irrelevant, it could be worse; it could be negative. If you have lots of commits, why? Didn't you code it right in the first place? If you're doing lots of testing, why? Didn't you write it well enough in the first place? Why are you emailing and going to meetings so much? Aren't you able to conduct analysis more efficiently? There questions are all, obviously, ridiculous. Activity is an indicator of nothing. So why collect it? The number of flies landing of flowers in Peru is just as good an indicator of your achievement as the number of commits, emails, etc. This is a idea that must be resisted so that maybe, just maybe, managers might learn how to manage and forget the gimmicks.
