Such a bizarre comment to make.

Not all work in an enterprise yields revenue. Security or compliance or HR are great examples of that. Also, very often work that you do doesn't bring immediate benefits. They are usually deferred by months or sometimes even years.

But we are talking about soared productivity. It cannot left key company metrics unaffected, otherwise what kind of productivity it is?

Not sure how to respond to that. You just dismissed everything I said without addressing it.

Okay. If not revenue or customers acquisition, there should be some other productivity metrics. Because lines of code committed or tickets moved to the right on Kanban board are definitely not those metrics
