Maintenance %

Maintenance refers to the lines of code modified that were written before the last 30 days / total lines of code added or modified.

• Less maintenance means that engineers write a very well-maintainable piece of code as the team builds new features.

• Higher maintenance represents a longer time to build new features or testing fatigue. When maintenance is high, estimates are usually off, as it's hard to account for maintenance during estimates.
