Measuring is not difficult, unless you are attempting to measure something immeasurable. The appropriate sequence would be as follows:

1. Determine whether there is supporting data for the proposed change. 2. If no data is available, implement tracking to establish a reference point. 3. Measure the reference point and ascertain what could lead to success. 4. Implement the change. 5. Review the new data and compare it against past values.

Sure, but the feedback loops for what I want to measure are 10 years long. You can go from fresh out of school to senior engineer in that time if we can measure your contributions faster than 10 years.

But I am not talking about measuring people's performance, but product performance.
