Focusing efforts on smaller+faster deploys (along with some measure of deploy quality to weigh those deploys) seems like a far better indicator of a team's velocity than simply tickets closed.

Agreed to all the comments that trying to find a simple metric for developer productivity is futile, but there is value in encouraging people to ship more often, and in doing so, ship smaller things that generally have less risk. Also, ownership is key here as the person writing the code should be the one that pushes it to production and owns its impacts, as I've found this results in higher quality, more sense of ownership, and quicker incident response and frequency reduction.
