+# Myth of Developer Productivity
+
+<!--deck text start-->
+The ability to directly effectively measure individual software developer productivity has eluded software developers for decades.  Why is this so hard and what are the alternatives?

+Here are the references I want to include: [myth-dev-prod], [cant-meas-prod], [kanban-and-scrum], [impl-lean-dev] (NOTE: We need a CC article for [impl-lean-dev].)
+
+Key points to make?
+
+* Why we care to measure productivity? => Software estimation, individual developer performance evaluation?
+
+* The number one way of improving productivity is to write less software (see [impl-lean-dev]).
+
+* The cost of software maintenance is often several times much higher than the cost to create the software in the first place.
+
+* The on-going cost of software maintenance is strongly correlated with the size of the code base (see: code complete???).
+
+* Defining productivity by directly measuring the amount of software created disincentivizes solutions that may reuse existing software or refactorings that may actaully result in less overall source code.
+
+* Cover some of the arguments made in the comments of https://github.com/betterscientificsoftware/bssw.io/issues/1341
