That link about measuring types of work is the earlier work I mentioned which is related, but distinct. At that time, Terry was asking about "maintenance" vs. "new work", whereas execs are now interested in core/strategic. That might seem like a trivial difference, or just a new label for the same concept. However, I don't think that is the case. I can imagine new work that might be core (optimizing a cache to require less hardware?), and maintenance work that might not be core (annual updating of summer of code docs?). Also, the new framework has 3 categories (core, strategic, and other), rather than just two, so there definitely can't be a direct mapping.
We hope we can leverage those earlier discussions and experiments, but they don't exactly meet the current requirements. Thanks for asking!
