Places where this gets stuck: IT services firms. I work for a software vendor that only sells through them, and most of them still bill by the day (at least in Europe).
For a service firm billing days, cutting the team in half because the shipping pace is the same would clearly breaks the business. So nobody there is in a hurry to measure outcomes, and the client’s procurement team compares day rates anyway. At least up to now.
