In an ideal world every developer’s performance would be fairly measured in a quantifiable way. But are there any quantifiable metrics that actually correlate with actual value?<p>What metrics do you look at when adjusting salaries, comparing teams and developers?
If you’re trying to come up with purely quantitative metrics, I have a suspicion you’ve been neglecting your own responsibilities, which are less quantifiable.<p>Like 1:1s. That’s an opportunity to check in well before any periodic adjustment cycle. Because it’s more than numbers.<p>If a manager needs a bunch of quantitative data at the start of a review cycle because they don’t know how their employees are doing, it’s the manager that needs an adjustment. Down. Or maybe out the door entirely.
