In a recent exchange in social media, it was clear the notion of risk and the sources of risk, the consequences or risks and managing in the presence of risk was in very unclear, when it was conjectured , we can simply slice the work into small bits and REDUCE risk. . This is good, but it doesn't reduce risk.

Accept: A response to a project risk where the project manager accepts the risk and takes no action to evade it, i.e. 'accepting' the risk. This is usually in case of risks that are unlikely to occur or minor enough so as to not affect the project's outcome. All work is divided into short bursts called "sprints".

Thus, the common approach to "measure productivity" is to compare the estimates against what, in fact, happened.

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.
