Hell, there will be huge differences in productivity even for the <i>same</i> developer at different times. Of course low productivity across the board is a problem in it’s own right, whatever it is that is causing it – and it can be all sorts of things. It could be that you have a <a href="http://hackerboss.com/recruitment-mistakes/" rel="nofollow">bad hiring process</a>, but just as likely it could be caused not by “bad material” but bad management. Regardless of variations in productivity, true innovation will always require some no-pressure time. On the whole, overwork leads to less innovation.

Out of 18 developers, 6 were not productive (they did not have their basics right and were not willing to learn). I guess 33% being not star developers is not good for a team.
