Most of the guys have more development than the girls. Sakura has had more of a role than Shikamaru, she is apart of team 7 with Naruto and Sasuke and kept Naruto alive many a time. Shikamaru though is right up there no doubt as one of Kishi's favorite characters and im glad Kishi has highlighted him and others before. Ino Shika Cho without a doubt receive just as much development in a sense as team 7 in comparison with the other two teams. Guy and Lee i guess are getting some development now, and we saw Shino, Kiba, and HInata's new moves like once....in comparison to shikamarus team thats how it seems at least.
It doesn't matter though because if Naruto lives and becomes hokage, Sakura and Shikamaru both will be helping him run the joint. They have the most experience with kage related stuff (and yes Sakura does have more hokage knowledge in a sense because shes been training under a hokage for 3 years now. Shes been around it, before anyone says im saying something out of bounds. Shikamaru is the same though, he became a jonin super quick and hes been helping his dad and Tsunade for just as long)
