For instance, in product development, the mechanical engineers don’t need to sit in on schematic reviews with the electrical engineers or code reviews with the software developers. They need to focus on the mechanical parts of the design and trust that the other engineers are doing their jobs well.

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.

Cycle time is a calculation that comes from the world of lean manufacturing. In software engineering , it refers to how long it takes to deploy code, or in supply chain management, it can explain how long it takes to fulfill a product order. What is cycle time? In a perfect world, cycle time would match takt time.
