my basic metric, in general terms, is like:

  ( feature_complexity_points - bugs_reported ) / time_spent
time_spent and bugs_reported are collected from the JIRA.

tricky part is defining the feature_complexity_points used ( function points ? cosmic ? business complexity ? story points ? )

I like where your going with this.

How does feature size factor here? Are size and complexity independent variables? Or, is it that, by definition, larger features are more complex?
