And yet I experience it so often. That or “effort points” as the metric being used to determine who all stars are. Either as a metric just encourages gaming of the system: Why write one line when I can write the same thing in 20? Why take this one effort point task I think will take three when I can just skip it and grab these one effort points I think will take 20 minutes? I’ve been on teams that on the surface didn’t have these metrics matter, but the top effort points achiever got bonuses on the DL.
