I don't actually see a productivity measure in all this, though.
If there are more blockers, is the team doing better (because they're covering ground faster and finding new blockers faster). Or worse (because they're being blocked more)?
If I have to report to the CEO on the Dev team productivity, do I tell them how many blockers we removed?
