People are the raw material for teams, for not only Agile Program Management teams, but for almost every human based endeavor. This is obvious but many times lost when discussing agile processes.

This quote is typically the basis of proposing agile software development over traditional software development. But if the development work is a Project is a fixed period of performance, for a fixed (with margin) budget, and a fixed set of Capabilities, then the question is can agile be used to develop the software?

Thus, the common approach to "measure productivity" is to compare the estimates against what, in fact, happened. Similarly, product lifecycle management (PLM) integrates people, data, processes and business systems.
