Measuring developer productivity has always been a challenge for our team. We want to ensure that we're evaluating performance fairly and effectively, without relying solely on metrics like lines of code. I came across Luxoft's approach to this issue—does anyone have insights or experiences with their methods? How do they suggest measuring developer productivity?

I’ve looked into Luxoft's approach https://www.luxoft.com/blog/how-to-measure-developer-productivity-luxoft-weighs-in to measuring developer productivity, and they emphasize a more holistic view rather than just focusing on traditional metrics like lines of code or hours worked. They suggest considering factors such as the quality of code, the developer's contribution to team collaboration, and their ability to solve complex problems. Luxoft also advocates for using metrics like cycle time and code review efficiency, which give a better picture of how a developer’s work impacts the overall project. It's a balanced approach that values both the output and the impact a developer has on the team's success and project goals. Implementing these measures has helped us better understand our team’s strengths and areas for improvement.
