In the past, developer productivity was measured partially based upon the lines of code a developer could crank out the door. However, if a developer is cranking out lines of code, then debugging and documenting the very same code that could be delivered and documented using technology…well…that is senseless and productivity takes a hit. In many cases a big and expensive hit!
A better measure of productivity is to determine how many lines of code, debugging time and documenting time technology can save, allowing the developer to focus his or her efforts on coding tasks that can’t be automated with technology. In a recent whitepaper I co-wrote with Jim Plamondon, we show how lines of code do matter and then introduce how technology can help developers become more efficient and productive.
