Do the people who think like seriously imagine that this is something reasonable and expectable, and not totally subjective to the style and habits of individual developers? I'm always baffled by managers or business people who seem to think quantification of productivity is easy. They must be incredibly lazy to not want to invest themselves in understanding what their developers are doing to gauge productivity themselves. Is this a sign of horrible management, or at least, as you say it, management that has become horribly out of touch with their developers?
