Is there a way to maybe not worry about productivity measurements? While in school, I didn't need to know how productive I was, I just needed to get stuff done. I either did or I didn't. I was given what was thought as manageable amounts of work but for some, it was too much and for others it wasn't enough.
In work, if I am given what is considered the next most important thing, what will those measurement tools get us? Maybe, at best, an idea if we want more people on the project but those projections can be rudimentary at best. Couldn't we just eyeball it and come to similar conclusions?
Productivity measurement reminds me of stock market analysis. Previous performance isn't indicative of future success. Projects are generally different enough that each one will have new challenges to figure out and learn.
