Many blogs, tweets, books are spent of speaking about Value as the priority in agile software development. We produce Value at the end of every Sprint Value is the most important aspect of Scrum based development. MOP's are attributes that assure the systems to capability to perform. We focus on Value over cost.

As more and more companies scramble to untangle the code of their monolithic legacy software and get it into the cloud, strategic priorities are shifting. 10 years ago, it seemed that a little Scrum here and some coaching there would suffice. And, you know, ultimately the thing that slows software development down is fear of change.

For software, this can be value produced (assuming we have a unit of measure for that value in the for of effectiveness, performance, key performance parameters, or technical performance measures ). It can be the cost, schedule, and technical performance measures of the software project.

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.

Agile software development is framed by a manifesto , a set of 12 principles, several methods. These are all focused on developing software, delivering that software to those paying the developers. Anything less results in systems not worth having or fail to function or perform. [3],

Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM): An agile software development methodology that uses an iterative, incremental approach to project execution. While it's mostly used for software projects, it can also be used for non-software projects. Sometimes, this technique is also called 'Scrum Poker'.
