Haha. Better or worse than, 'jira tickets' or 'story points'?
They're doing a f-ing reporting database migration just now, just measure tables created that match the old DB. And standard user queries that output the same.
"Oh hang on, does the new database have to have the same data as the old one?" "We've reviewed all of our non existing requirements gathering notes and the "business " never wrote that as a requirement. we can squeeze it in later on the roadmap, when some dev resources have been freed up. Can you tell us more about these 'queries'; is that a power bi thing? - i think another team does that?"
Sack 3 or more layers of "management/director/head of/architect/strategy", that have a lot more impact on productivity than letting people wank from home.
