Engineering Productivity Myth and Reality

This link was helpful in triggering the thoughts. The framework is interesting

From Work Perspective

  • Design documents and specs
  • Work items, pull requests, commits
  • Code reviews/quality of reviews
  • CI / CD - Count of build, test, deployment/release
  • What I would also add up is
  • Performance and scale while designing
  • Field Testing to know it meets the customer

From General - work-life aspects

  • Extensive and effective communication
  • Block your peers to unblock you
  • Lack of communication implies a lack of coordination

Mindset and culture play a key role

From ref

  • Create a solution without understanding how it all works
  • Continue creating a solution without understanding how it all works
  • After something has caused you multiple issues, don’t stop and reconsider your approach

My perspectives - Ability to have quality ideas, quality alternatives in interest if time, Come back before its too late is essential.

The culture has to evolve (Ref)

  • humble — self-aware, intellectually honest
  • Know their business inside and out
  • recruit dream people to the cause

Be clear about what you don't know and how you plan to achieve it

My perspectives - Quality ideas, quick experiments, balance time and don't end up half-baked product.
