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.

Here's a simple definition of the Cone of Uncertainty: . The Measure that is modeled in the Cone the variable is the Quantitative basis of a control process that establishes the goal for the performance measure. This is a closed loop control system for managing the program with a T echnical Performance Measure (TPM).

In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. This is usually a cost, a completion date, a performance measure used in a closed loop control system to keep the project GREEN while delivering the needed Capabilities to produce the Value for the customer at the needed time for the needed cost.
