Why do we need to measure productivity? No one seems to ask that question. To me it seems that trying to measure the individual (people) parts of a system in some quasi-reproducable and transitive way does more harm to the total output of the system than good.

Do we measure trust (upon which all business is based)? If we relinquish individual productivity from our “measure all the things so we can improve them” obsession to the soft realm of the immeasurable, we might magically stop wasting so much time on stupid shit and accomplish a lot more meaningful work.
