Emmanuel Valverde Ramos @emmanuelvalverde.dev · May 19 1/ In software engineering, we often use “productivity” as if it meant everything. It does not. Productivity, effectiveness, and efficiency are separate ideas. Related, yes. Interchangeable, no. Confusing them is how teams become busy without becoming better.

2/ Productivity asks: How much work is being produced? In software, this may look like features delivered, bugs fixed, pull requests merged, tests added, incidents handled, or code changed. Productivity is about output. Not automatically value. Not automatically quality.
I like this def of efficiency.
