Engineering productivity can be measured, just not how you'd expect
> Just as a sports team wins or loses together, so too should the engineering team be treated as the fundamental unit of success.<p>A sports team has a play book, does your team?  A sports team practices together, does your team?  A sports team works as a unit, does your team?<p>Too many times I have see engineering teams as only a team on the org chart  In reality they solve tickets as individuals with only a small interaction from pull requests.  Otherwise they might as well not even know each other.  They are a team not as in basketball or football, but like golf where once you get to the tee, it's you and only you to get the ball in the hole.
