It can be your reality with a well-defined DoD. From individual coding tasks to large-scale releases, the DoD sets the bar for quality and completeness, ensuring everyone - from developers to stakeholders - is on the same page. This helps the project team define what needs to be delivered and prevent potential scope creep.

Signal processing is a domain of software development well suited to the paradigm of engineered systems. This is called engineering the solution.

The Cone of Uncertainty is a useful approach to defining the expected range of uncertainty at specific stages in a project. The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ?

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. We engineers should always keep in mind that software development is usually one part of many others inside the company.
