I think the article is talking about a new-hire situation, not evaluation of one's own employees' efforts. It'd be pretty hard to get metrics like yours in a hiring situation.

If you were doing Agile (and therefore had a reasonable metric of the relative size of each requirement), then a better metric might be your personal "velocity" of completed user stories, divided by the estimate amount. I think a really coo
