Episode 114: Story Point Commitments and Measuring Productivity (Episode 79 Rerun)
About this episode
In this re-run of episode 79, Dave and Jamison answer these questions:
- It seems like my teams always miss their story point commitments. Is this normal? How do you change it?
- How do you actually measure developer productivity?
The article comparing research on productivity in static and dynamic type systems is here. It is a great read.
Jamison also mentions Goodhart’s Law. Read more about it here.
