Abstract-Several companies use the amount of deliveries as a metric of performance evaluation of the developer. However, the productivity of a developer and his importance for the company is not only related to the amount of lines of code produced. There are a variety of factors that can contribute to the relevance of a developer for a team. This paper aims at mapping some of these factors, measuring those that are more important for companies and propose an evaluation model of developer importance that considers more than just deliveries. We have found that some factors are more important than others and that there are minor differences for different companies. We have also developed a high accuracy classifier that can indicate the importance of the developer based on a set of attributes.
