Development Performance Metrics Will Eventually Favor Cost per Line of Code

@Boris

 

 

An ensuing discussion brought that very fact up: cost per business function/activity will be much more likely to be the metric than per line of code.

 

 

"Cost per business function performed" not only needs to include cost of person using the software, but the costs of delivering the software and protecting the data - in other words, the costs across the entire infrastructure. Firewalls, security, database, encryption, certificates, access management, load balancers, etc... everything needs to be factored into that metric.

 

 

I am thinking more on this one...it's certainly raised some interested perspectives and more people are leaning toward your thinking...
