Developer productivity refers to how productive a developer is during a specific time or based on any criteria. It can be measured using various methods such as the SPACE and OKR frameworks. The SPACE framework focuses on satisfaction, performance, activity, communication, and efficiency while OKR measures personal objectives and key results.
