The good ol' measuring inputs, not outputs...

(Other inputs from days of yore: number of people that report to you, budget allocation to your team. Nothing new under the sun!)

Is there an xyz's law for this yet? Will add - lines of code (as long as you don't believe code is the product/output).
There's Goodhart's law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."
There it is. Thanks!
