As a hiring manager / lead for technical positions, this is fine, and often proposed by the 'resume experts'. Where I get incensed is these statements where the original design/architecture that this individual was responsible for was the problem, and they are just bringing something back to baseline where it should have started. I see this ALL THE TIME. And this is with grace towards changing requirements etc. And not just on resumes, I see this on internal corp. accomplishments, and typically the higher the level the more the savings and more the unnecessary waste was to start. For example, CFO once claimed like $20mm in savings because he decommed a financial module that they bought and NEVER used and NEVER needed - this guy crushed is bonus this year.
