Cycle Time

Last updated 5 months ago

Cycle time is the time it takes from the first commit to PR merged.

  • If things are taking too long to release, it can impact the competitiveness of the product in the market, and customers may be waiting too long for requests.

  • With the very smooth delivery system in place, things are moving rapidly. At this pace, even if we see production issues, things can be fixed faster, which is great for teams experimenting with new ideas.
