With these business principles of software development and projects in general, we can ask and answer five principles of project success. What dos Done look like in units of measure meaningful to the decision makers? Software engineering economics is about making decisions related to software engineering in a business context.

The Cone of Uncertainty is a framing assumption used to model the needed reduction in some parameter of interest in domains ranging from software development to hurricane forecasting. The Cone of Uncertainty as a Technical Performance Measure. The Cone of Uncertainty as a Technical Performance Measure.

Barry Boehm's work in “Software Engineering Economics”. The Cone is a project management framework describing the uncertainty aspects of estimates (cost and schedule) and other project attributes (cost, schedule, and technical performance parameters). There can be cost and schedule performance measures as well.

This is an immutable principle that impacts planning, execution, performance measures, decision making, risk, budgeting, and overall business and technical management of the project and the business funding the project no matter the domain, context, technology or any methods. All project work operates in the presence of uncertainty.

Besides the process, software, and User Experience modeling of the interdependent components, Risk Management and most critically Risk Propagation can be modeled with DSM. Actual software process flows contain loops. Independent of what?

Although I understand measuring productivity could work well for repeatable activities, it's hard to believe it works well for abstract and, ultimately, non-repeatable tasks like software development. Thus, the common approach to "measure productivity" is to compare the estimates against what, in fact, happened.

Or ANY software project for that matter. In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. This is the domain of Microeconomics and when applied to software development it is the microeconomics of software development. The Buff's won and are now the PAC-12 South Champs.
