Velocity Dashboard (Beta)

Use the Velocity Dashboard to unlock insights into your software development lifecycle. Get a clear view of PR cycle time to identify bottlenecks and spot inefficiencies, compare pull request size against commit activity, and visualize your team’s success rate across the entire review process — all in one place.

Metric visualizations

Cycle time

Cycle time represents the time it takes for a single PR to go through the entire coding process, measuring the timeframe from the first commit on a PR to when the PR is merged.

In the dashboard, visualize your software development cycle time to identify bottlenecks, optimize your process, and improve efficiency.

In the Cycle time tile, see the following metrics:

• Time to open

• Time to first review

• Time to approve

• Time to merge

In the upper right side of the tile, select an operation:

• Average

• Max

• Min

• Median

• P95

• Sum

You can filter the cycle time data by date range, author, or team, and you can drill into the data for further analysis.

MR size

Compare your Pull Request size to:

• Time to open

• Time to first review

• Time to approve

• Time to merge

• Cycle time

Use this visualization to understand how Pull Request size affects efficiency across the development lifecycle.

You can filter the MR size data by date range, author, or team, you can drill into the data for further analysis, and you can choose whether to include or exclude outliers. Outliers are excluded by default. To include them, click Display in the upper right corner of the graph then toggle off the Hide outliers option.

MR success rate

The number of MRs that go through the cycle without being discarded (closed without merging) is an indicator of process efficiency. In the dashboard, view your MR success rate and a count of open MRs, closed MRs, or merged MRs.

You can filter the MR success rate data by date range, author, or team, and you can drill into the data for further analysis.

Drill down on data

On any of the metric visualizations in the dashboard, you can drill further into the data.

• Click on a metric to see a list of data points that can be segmented by team, author, or repository:

  

  • From there, click View data to see a list of all MRs that the metrics are being calculated for.
