What McKinsey got wrong about developer productivity
&gt;<i>the McKinsey framework only measures effort or output, not outcomes and impact, which misses half of the software developer lifecycle.</i><p>&gt;<i>“The McKinsey framework will most likely do far more harm than good to organizations – and to the engineering culture at companies. Such damage could take years to undo,” Orosz and Beck argue.</i><p>I would go further and say it will likely damage user experience too. Cranking out features to game productivity scores and ignoring outcomes is a good way to get bloat, bugs, cluttered and overly complex UI, and an overall degraded user experience.
