Hivel Score
Org level score calculation
Team level score calculation
Hivel Score provides engineering leaders with a fast, reliable snapshot of overall performance - without the need to navigate multiple dashboards. It brings together key signals like speed, quality, and throughput into a single, easy-to-understand score.
What is Hivel Score?
Hivel Score is an aggregate, organization-level indicator that reflects how your teams are performing across core engineering metrics. Each score is presented out of 100, making it simple to quickly assess performance at a glance.
How to interpret the score
Scores are contextual: They are most meaningful when compared to a previous timeframe.
Trend-focused: The score highlights whether metrics have improved, declined, or remained stable.
Drilldowns available: Supporting metrics and percentage changes provide deeper insights into what’s driving the score.
Why it matters
Hivel Score is designed to help you:
Quickly assess performance health across teams or the entire organization
Identify areas of improvement by understanding metric-level changes
Track score progress over time
What you can configure
The metrics and weightages to be considered are completely configurable.
Changes made to sub-metric configurations will impact the Hivel Score from the current month onward only.
Changes made to primary metric configurations will impact past, current, and future months.
About scoring and stack ranking
The scoring system, along with the stack rank view, is intended to provide directional clarity -helping you understand how teams are progressing over time and where attention may be needed.
Rather than serving as a direct comparison tool, it offers a relative view of performance trends, making it easier to:
Spot teams that are improving or facing challenges
Highlight which metrics may need focus
Understand how performance evolves across the organization
