👩‍🏫Process

Hiring the best talent and setting up an efficient process is what most companies aim to do. But, if the process isn’t being adapted well by the team, it slows down the deliverables and can cause attrition of top performers.

1. Coding time is the time from the first commit to the time PR was opened. In other words, this is the time spent by the developer to complete the work associated with the PR.

2. Pickup Time is the time between when a PR is opened and when the first comment is made. It is a subset of the total Review Time.

3. Review time is the time from when the PR was opened to the time when the PR was reviewed.

4. Merge time is the time taken from PR review to PR merge.

5. Cycle time is the time taken for the PR through its complete lifecyle, starting from the first commit to the PR merge. It is essentially the sum of Coding, Review, and Merge times. Pickup Time contributes to Cycle Time, but it is not an additional component; it is a part of Review Time.

You can use data on this screen to:

• See the stage at which your team is spending most of their time - coding, review, or release process.

• Averages could sometimes be deceiving, so check the right panel for all the PRs and their respective breakdown into various stages.

• You can look at your current sprints or past sprints and use this data during retrospectives.
