Probably the best way you can measure productivy is the output not the lines of code (which are super dependent on the language used and the amount of abstractions).

So you can measure output (the presence and quality of functionalities), you can measure speed (how much time did it take) altough speed without quality is probably not that useful :D and you can probably measure the quality of the code itself (it the output is of quality but the code base is really bad it might take too much to implement the second feature after the first one).

What do you think?
