Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 95!
Software Process and Measurement Cast features an essay on labor productivity which is an excerpt from a new writing project I am calling The Metrics Minute. You will see more essays from this project in the future and a call to action.
The first few lines . . .
Labor productivity measures efficiency of the transformation of
labor into something of higher value. Labor productivity
(typically called productivity) is a fairly simple manufacturing
concept that has been found itself useful in IT. Productivity
is the amount of output per unit of input; an example in
manufacturing terms can be expressed as10 widgets for every hour
worked. Labor productivity is a powerful metric, made even more
powerful by it's simplicity. At its heart, productivity is a
measure of the efficiency of a process (or group of processes).
