Engineering productivity can be measured - just not how you'd expect

Engineering leaders have been measuring productivity all wrong, mistakenly focusing on approximations like lines of code or tickets closed. This article reveals a revolutionary approach: measuring team-level "blockers" that prevent engineers from doing their best work, offering a data-driven method to dramatically improve engineering effectiveness by understanding and removing obstacles to productivity. The piece provides practical frameworks for identifying and addressing the real impediments that slow down engineering teams.
