This is one blog post that you’ve got to read<\/a>… by Joel Spolsky.
\nJoel writes about an email he recently received,<\/p>\n

A management consultant at Bain wrote me a nice email, that included the following sentence:<\/p>\n

“Our team is conducting a benchmarking effort to gather an outside-in view on development performance metrics and best practice approaches to issues of process and organization from companies involved in a variety of software development (and systems integration).”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And notes Joel wryly,<\/p>\n

I didn’t understand a thing he wrote. The email contained a lot of words (“benchmarking,” “outside in,” “performance metrics,” “best practice,” “process and organization”) each of which set off a loud buzzing alarm-like sound in my head. The noise from the buzzing was so loud and so distracting that I found myself completely unable to parse the email.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And all I can say is : Bwahahahhahah!!
\nDon’t forget to read the productivity shell game whether it is true or not.<\/p>\n
