Measuring PMs Only on Shipped Features
Product Managers must be rewarded for shipping features that generate value and revenue without increasing incidents or complexity. An incident here means a system failure users actually notice: an outage, a broken checkout, a data loss. Those events hit revenue.
The team's measured output per unit of effort gets worse as complexity grows, because more effort disappears into coordination, rework, and bug fixes that exist only because the system is fragile. Vacuum Effort and What your engineers actually had to do price the architecture of the work, not a shipped-feature count.
