Productivity Insights
Engineering delivery and collaboration metrics at the team and contributor level.
What Productivity Insights shows
The Productivity Insights view provides a data-driven picture of how your engineering teams are delivering software. It is designed for engineering managers who need to understand team health, identify bottlenecks, and track improvement over time.
Available metrics
Delivery throughput
The volume of work shipped to production over a selected time period. Includes:
- Pull requests merged: Total PRs merged per week across the team.
- Tickets completed: Jira or equivalent issues moved to done (requires Jira integration).
- Deployment frequency: How often the team ships to production (requires CI/CD integration).
Code review participation
Signals around collaborative code review practices:
- Review coverage: What percentage of merged PRs received at least one review.
- Review turnaround: Median time from PR creation to first review.
- Approval rate: The share of reviews that resulted in approval vs. change requests.
Contribution patterns
An aggregate view of contributor activity:
- Active contributors: Number of engineers with merged activity in the period.
- Contribution distribution: How evenly work is distributed across the team (useful for identifying over-reliance on specific contributors).
Filtering the view
Use the Team and Time range filters at the top of the page to focus the data:
- Team filter: Restrict the view to a specific team or sub-team (populated from your org chart if uploaded).
- Time range: Default is 8 weeks. Adjust to see shorter or longer trends.
Contributor drilldown
Click on any contributor in the team breakdown table to open their contributor detail view, which shows their individual metrics in the same categories (throughput, review participation, and contribution patterns) over the selected period.
These numbers describe team patterns and bottlenecks, not a leaderboard for individuals. Use them to fix workflow issues, not to rank people.
