  Let $G$ be a finite group and ${\rm cd}(G)$ will be the set of the degrees of
the complex irreducible characters of $G$. Also let ${\rm cod}(G)$ be the set
of codegrees of the irreducible characters of $G$. The Taketa problem
conjectures if $G$ is solvable, then ${\rm dl}(G) \leq |{\rm cd}(G)|$, where
${\rm dl}(G)$ is the derived length of $G$. In this note, we show that ${\rm
dl}(G) \leq |{\rm cod}(G)|$ in some cases and we conjecture that this
inequality holds if $G$ is a finite solvable group.
