    Thanks to Goodhart’s Law, that doesn’t work. Any number used as a performance target ceases to be a useful measure, because people minmax them. You need to be able to look at a feature in a system, and evaluate if they completed it in an amount of time commensurate with their experience.

    You need to think of productivity more abstractly, and have a lot of relevant expertise to assess it. Good management is hard, basically.
