Wasting money is nothing too unusual in the Fiance sector. But every Manager fears risk, especially if he is made aware of it with a paper trail :D | |
Aug 25, 2020 at 14:37 | comment | added | vikingsteve | Oh, dont worry. I measured the performance increase (or decrease, due to not having powerful IDE tools) and presented it in "man hours lost per week". My 25% increase was very specific and I backed it up with a spreadsheet of data. "Action A - time manual vs time in IntelliJ, times number of occurrences per week" etc etc. If you can show dollar signs to management they will often suddenly listen | |
Aug 25, 2020 at 14:34 | comment | added | Daniel | @vikingsteve I would be wary of making specific performance promises because performance in software-development is already hard to measure and even harder to understand for "business" | |
Aug 25, 2020 at 14:32 | comment | added | vikingsteve | Wasting money - you can flip it the other way and say you will be (for example) 25% more efficient with IntelliJ, butbucket, jira, etc. Have been in this situation before and when i argued on increased efficiency - boom, we got some IntelliJ licenses. | |
