On measuring productivity

funnythingsmustdie(@Reddit)

• Measuring productivity is easy: first define what results you want, then ask if you achieved those results. If you did, you're productive. Otherwise you're not productive.

• If you achieve results, then look at how much slack you had, and consider having tighter requirements for the next round.

• Of course, this requires judgement and intelligence, and you can't replace a manager with a formula in a spreadsheet.
