Key Metrics

Engineering Delivery Stages

Each stage of the delivery lifecycle has its own best practice target. Monitoring these helps teams reduce lead time and increase throughput.

Coding Time

Measures the duration from the first code commit to pull request creation. High coding time may indicate large change sets or delayed feedback loops, increasing integration risks.

Pickup Time

The interval between pull request creation and the start of the review process. Monitoring this ensures PRs don't remain idle and maintains a rapid feedback cycle.

Review Time

Tracks how long it takes to complete a code review once started. Efficient review cycles ensure high-quality code while minimizing delays before merging.

Rework Time

Measures how long developers take to address feedback after a review. This highlights how quickly teams respond and incorporate improvements before approval.

Deployment Time

Tracks the duration from commit or merge to successful deployment. Faster deployment times indicate streamlined CI/CD pipelines and efficient release processes.
