I think this is the wrong question.  My experience in building hyper-productive
teams has shown time and time again that productivity is rarely related to tools
(beyond the basics).   Tools (especially things like IDE's) are an exercise in
wishful thinking that magic bullets exist to address the productivity issue.  They
don't. (eg. almost half a million lines of server-side J2EE code, in 9 months
with 3.5 man-years of developer time using only EMACS, CVS and a
debugger).

What generates high levels of productivity is clear
vision/leadership/architecture coupled with very experienced, talented
developers.  The quandry is that there is no shortcut to gaining "experience"
nor any way to magically transform jr/intermediate developers into seniors
through the use of "tools".

The only way to solve your deliverables problem is to keep hitting the pointy
haired managers over the head till they change the deadline or expectations to
something more in line with the experience levels and capabilities of your team
in the short term....and work on boosting the experience level of your team in
the longer run.  Neither of these tasks are easy, many times are not much fun
and with the former, can put your job at jeopardy, which might explain why so
many technicians fail when the graduate to management ranks.

Sorry that I don't have a "magic" answer....but as I said, the root of the problem
is that the question is the wrong one.
