The traditional approach to managing productivity is that employees punch a clock – in at 8, out at 5 – and employers must assume work is being done during the intervening hours. However, the current reality for many, if not most, businesses, is that the traditional approach no longer works. It has become unclear whether or not work is being accomplished regardless of hours logged at the office. With the increase in outsourced and offshore teams, many developers are scattered across different states or even different continents and throughout a variety of time zones. As a result, it’s not possible for a manager to ‘swing by’ a developer’s cube to get a status update on a project or even just to do a quick check that a team member is present and productive.
