i was not very clear. as a lowly developer i am so far removed from the outcome that i have no clue what the impact of my work is supposed to be. i don't know if the bug i fixed affects 1% or 90% of the user base, or if the feature, like that new credit card processing service brings in a few new users, or thousands or none at all.
if there is a story to tell, it doesn't reach our team.
In a CV, the impact you made is a story to tell, not a number to calculate.
