In the USA, the most precisely measured people are the most handsomely rewarded. Sports & other entertainment folks.

Technical folks are "above" that sort of thing, leaving executives to measure our performance by: high salaries, bug counts, missed dates, incomplete features... Leaving execs to realize: Hey! I can buy the last 4 for 1/16 the price overseas!

There isn't a metric that will satisfy everyone, but there *has* to be some way for your group/dept to measure itself. Otherwise, how do you know you're doing things better?

It is in our interest to develop meaningful metrics.
