Show Notes
<p>This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>It seems like my teams always miss their story point commitments. Is this normal? How do you change it?</li>
<li>How do you actually measure developer productivity?</li>
</ol>
<p>The article comparing research on productivity in static and dynamic type systems is <a href="https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/">here</a>. It is a great read.</p>
<p>Jamison also mentions Goodhart’s Law. Read more about it <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law">here</a>.</p>
